Klassik Forum Chur: Daniel Hope

Description

A true concertante round is presented by Music Director Daniel Hope and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra in this festive concert to mark the beginning of Advent. It was Arcangelo Corelli who gave a fixed form to the alternating play between a small group of soloists and the full orchestra and inscribed himself in music history as one of the founding fathers of the baroque instrumental concerto with these Concerti grossi. The concluding Pastorale of his most famous Concerto grosso bears the addition «fatto per la notte di Natale» – written for the Holy Night – and exudes a peaceful calm with its rocking rhythm. Also in the D minor concerto for two violins and cello from Antonio Vivaldi's groundbreaking collection L’Estro Armonico, there is a moment of pastoral contemplation with the graceful Siciliano, embedded between the virtuosic dialogue in the outer movements. The work impressed Johann Sebastian Bach so much that he reworked it into an organ concerto. With his violin concerto in A minor BWV 1041, one of the noblest completions of the Italian concerto, a solo concerto by the baroque master concludes this evening.
