"Seasons: Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Piazzolla" Automatic translate

Saturday July 9, 00:00

"Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi is an absolute masterpiece, among the best works created over the long history of music. We never get tired of listening to the voice of the violin telling the story of our life - from birth to old age. From “Spring” and “Summer” to “Autumn” and “Winter”. The theme of the seasons worried many great composers. Handel, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Glazunov… and, of course - Astor Piazzolla. His "Seasons" turned the usual ideas about this genre. Harmonies of the twentieth century that filled the score, resilient Latin American rhythms, fantastic energy - all this is a portrait of our time, painted with modern musical means. But Vivaldi did the same, sketching the sounds surrounding his reality. That is why it is so interesting to compare Vivaldi with Piazzolla in one concert. It was as if a bridge stretched between times - so different and so similar.
