Giovanni Antonini Musical Direction
Ludwig van Beethoven’s Triple Concerto's unusual instrumentation was unique in its time and stood out from his oeuvre. It focuses on a trio that oscillates between virtuosity and harmony with chamber music finesse. For this special dynamic, the Basel Chamber Orchestra and its director Giovanni Antonini have gathered international stars: Isabelle Faust, Sol Gabetta and Kristian Bezuidenhout. The Fifth Symphony in C minor, which Beethoven composed around the same time, follows this work, full of lightness and joy of playing. Enthusiastic about the ideals of the French Revolution, he imbues his composition with calls for freedom, equality and brotherhood. Originally planned for 2020, this inspiring concert programme will finally take place. After the opening concert on May 5 with the Festival Orchestra, it will usher in the 2022 season.
