Gewandhausorchester - GROSSES CONCERT
In the organizer's words:
Both violin solo works are intended for the same artist. Anne-Sophie Mutter, whose declared mission is to promote new music, premiered the orchestral version of Witold Lutosławski's Partita and Air by Gewandhaus composer Thomas Adès under the direction of the composers. The introverted Air, which enchanted the festival audience in Lucerne in 2022, is juxtaposed with the bustling and playful Partita , whose obbligato piano part bears witness to its previous history as a duo for string and keyboard instruments. Both pieces acknowledge their historical roots. The Partita makes no secret of Lutosławski's admiration for Bach, and Adès once again bows to his role model Sibelius, the mediator between past and future.
