Program text

This program is a unique musical journey by grandmaster J.S. Bach through his son C.P.E. Bach and J. Haydn to another icon of music history: none other than W.A. Mozart. This immediately also audibly reproduces the fascinating transition from the Baroque period to Classicism. The concert opens with a highlight of a typical baroque genre: the suite (a varied succession of different dance forms preceded by a majestic overture), followed by one of the most beautiful cello concerti of the 18th century. After the interval, a less well-known, but catchy and melodic aria by Haydn will be played, in which the harpsichord plays an important role. Beniamino then takes his flute to close this festive program with a beautiful flute concerto by WA Mozart.

Text aria Haydn

Se ogni giorno, Prence invito, a te crescono gl’allori,
che eroi spargere sudori, chi vorrà teco pugnar.
l’orme al genitore con virtù pari e valore cercheranno te imitar.
