Patricia Kopatchinskaja loves festivals: "I particularly like the fact that the audience is so enthusiastic." That's why a mini-festival was organized for the artist in residence - three concert evenings in which she plays the great violin works of classical modernism.
We begin with the violin concertos by Stravinsky and Prokofiev: their music has many common sources, but the temperaments of the two composers were very different. While Stravinsky's music is primarily rhythmic, Prokofiev's melodies often flow freely, supported by original harmonies. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, on the other hand, seems to unite all temperaments in her playing: she captivates the audience with passion, commitment, great feeling and, above all, the greatest virtuosity and musicality. The program is complemented by the Sonata in C major for two violins, which Prokofiev wrote for the two violinists Samuel Dushkin and Robert Soetens. Patricia Kopatchinskaja dedicates this concert to the two musicians.
