Musical classics for all time - masterpieces by Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart - will be performed by the Hermitage Ensemble under the direction of violinist and conductor Ilya Norshtein. Taking on the mission of popularizing academic musical art, the Hermitage, over its twenty-year history, has collected a unique repertoire of works from different eras and styles from baroque to Argentine tango and has managed to conquer the widest audience. This evening the program opens with the Concerto for Violin, Harpsichord and Strings by Antonio Vivaldi. The purity and transparency, immediacy and freshness of his music has been delighting listeners for more than two centuries. It surprisingly combines sublime pathos and indefatigable vitality. The immortal masterpieces of the Baroque era also include Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, in which the usually accompanying harpsichord comes to the fore, imperiously subjugating the entire orchestra, and at the point of the golden section of the form it conquers the peak in a huge cadence of improvisational fantasy plan. In conclusion, one of the most spiritual and poetic works of chamber music will be performed - Mozart's clarinet quintet. This is the composer's only completed quintet written specifically for this instrument. It is sometimes called the Stadler Quintet, after the clarinetist for whom it was written.
