Programme notes

In 1725, Vivaldi published twelve concertos under the title: “The difficult balance between harmony and invention.” They were works in which he posed the classic dilemma between respect for classical composition rules and creative freedom. The first four works of the collection had unprecedented success: four pieces in which a solo violin stands out and, at the same time, different moments of the seasons of the year are described. Not only enjoyed for the freshness and charm of its melodies and for the imitation of the wind, rain or birds, but also for the skill that the composer demonstrated combining effects of all kinds (pizzicatos, glissandos, tremolos …) that they oblige the audience to be permanently attentive.

Tomàs Grau proposed completing the programme with Schubert’s Second, one of the many jewels of the Viennese composer that only began to be appreciated years after his death. A work that references  Beethoven and possibly the happiest of his entire catalogue.

Known for her strong musical personality and the versatility of her music, in which she combines powerful dynamism and intense lyricism, Liza Ferschtman has been praised by international music press, the New York Times describes her as “simply revealing”, referring to the “intensity, purity and refined beauty of her performance”, while The Guardian has applauded her “lively musical personality” and “charming lyrical quality”.

Liza Ferschtman is also passionate about chamber music and is a regular guest at festivals and concert halls around the world; since 2007 she has been the artistic director of the Delft Chamber Music Festival.
