A time machine called "Classics in Kuskovo" Automatic translate

MOSCOW. In the Grand Palace of the famous estate the traditional summer festival "Classics in Kuskovo" has opened.

Actively visited by lovers of antiquity, tourists and weddings, the former Sheremetev estate 20 years ago also became a venue for music festivals. The demand for such a format was obvious at the initial stage. The ancient architecture, the French regular park, columns and statues are not just a tempting surroundings. Attending a concert at the Grand Palace is comparable to a time machine that takes spectators several centuries ago.

From May 29 until the fall - thematic programs in which popular and infrequently performed works sound. This season, Beethoven’s Septet performed by The New Russian Quartet, classical works in unusual processing for Russian folk instruments by the Moscow Quartet, will be among such rarities. The Moscow Camerata will play Vivaldi and Paganini’s violin concerts. Violini di Maestro, soloists of the Moskontsert, ensembles Orfarion and Seasons will perform Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Handel, Beethoven, arias from Italian operas, Russian romances, Baroque music.

At the opening of the festival, the ensemble “OPUS POSTH” performed (translated from Latin - the posthumous composition), created by Tatyana Grindenko on the basis of the “Academy of Ancient Music”. The goal of the collective is the formation of a new musical space. The search for OPUS POSTH in this direction led to successful cooperation with the Taganka Theater and the School of Dramatic Art. At the opening, Suite No. 2 of Bach, Concerto grosso No. 7 and No. 10, a sonata No. 12 and an aria from Handel’s oratorio were heard.
