Awakening & Piazzolla
With the ECHO Klassik award winner Yury Revich
Great University Hall, Salzburg

"Powerful competence, breathtaking dexterity, innate musicality and impressive precision..."
- The Strad

The Salzburg Philharmonic regularly invites rising stars and young artists to the stage: At this concert, conductor Elisabeth Fuchs is looking forward to working with violinist Yury Revich, who was born in Moscow in 1991 and is already known in his twenties as a multi-faceted artist of incredible depth, maturity and creativity is celebrated. In addition to his diverse concert collaborations with, among others, Daniil Trifonov, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria or Ferhan and Ferzan Önder, the young Russian is also active as a composer. The highlight of the evening is the premiere of his work "Awakening" for solo violin and orchestra. The exceptional artist, who has just turned 30, is giving himself a very special birthday present.

This concert is to be understood as a direct continuation of the seasons concert "Metamorphoses". However, the focus is not on the cold times of torpor, but on the warm ones of the new life. Instead of Vivaldi spring and summer sound from Ástor Piazzolla's "Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas". A “porteño” is the name given to a resident of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, so the composer draws a picture of the seasons as they occur there. There are also spring-like works by Franz Schubert. He composed his 5th symphony, which is stylistically even closer to Mozart than the two great symphonies from his late period, when he was only 19 years old. For Elisabeth Fuchs it is a "March-to-May symphony".
