Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart undeniably embodies symbols of light, sunshine, life, optimism, and a positive outlook on reality. However, his name is also associated with works with the theme of the night – in addition to the famous A Little Night Music, they also include Serenata Notturna. The talented composer and cellist Luigi Boccherini wrote a total of twelve cello concertos. The Baroque composer uses the entire range of the instrument, which makes his Cello Concerto No. 9 one of the most popular. The popularity of Boccherini’s works was so high in the 19th century that in 1895, the German cellist Friedrich Grützmacher decided to adapt the Ninth Concerto to a romantic stylistic aesthetic. Grützmacher’s version combines the fourth, fifth and seventh concertos with the ninth, while cadenzas are also added. Jacqueline du Pré, the renowned inspiration in the world of cello art, recorded the concert in this rendition. The solo part of this version will be performed in Bratislava by Ľudovít Kanta, former cello group concert master of the Slovak Philharmonic. He found his second home in Japan, where he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun in 2023. Leoš Janáček wrote the Suite, his first orchestral piece, even before his studies at the Leipzig Conservatory. The stylistic intention to return to the old baroque suites was followed only in the archaic naming of the six parts.

English

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart jednoznačne patrí k symbolom svetla, slnka, života, optimizmu, pozitívneho prístupu k realite. Jeho meno sa však spája aj s dielami s tematikou noci – okrem slávnej Malej nočnej hudby k nim patrí i Serenata notturna. Talentovaný skladateľ a zároveň violončelista Luigi Boccherini napísal celkovo dvanásť koncertov pre violončelo. Barokový skladateľ využíva celý rozsah nástroja, vďaka čomu patrí medzi veľmi obľúbené i jeho Deviaty koncert. Popularita Boccheriniho diel bola v 19. storočí tak vysoká, že sa deviaty koncert rozhodol v roku 1895 nemecký violončelista Friedrich Grützmacher upraviť tak, aby vyhovoval romantickej štýlovej estetike. Grützmacherova verzia kombinuje štvrtý, piaty i siedmy koncert s deviatym, pričom sú dokomponované i kadencie. V takej verzii nahrala koncert i známa múza violončelového umenia Jacqueline du Pré. Sólového partu tejto verzie sa v Bratislave zhostí Ľudovít Kanta, bývalý koncertný majster violončelovej skupiny Slovenskej filharmónie. Svoj druhý domov našiel v Japonsku, kde mu v roku 2023 udelili Rád vychádzajúceho slnka. Leoš Janáček napísal Suitu, prvú orchestrálnu skladbu, ešte pred svojim štúdiom na lipskom konzervatóriu. Štýlový zámer navrátiť sa k starým barokovým suitám dodržal iba v archaickom pomenovaní šiestich častí.
