Musical fireworks with the "Wizard"!

With due festivity, Venetian lightness, and "devilish" passion, the first days of the year belong to this musical fireworks display. Maurice Steger needs little introduction: He has earned an iconic reputation as a recorder player internationally.

This concert program goes back about four centuries: The plague still rages in Europe - including in Italy. At the same time, around 1700, a development takes place in which instrumental music, especially in Northern Italy, unfolds all its splendor.

Four instruments, violin, recorder, cello, and harpsichord open up this music world, the first chamber music is created, and highlights the emergence of each individual in a virtuosic and creative (improvising) manner, similar to a modern jazz band. Baroque music provides the individual musician, in conjunction with others, with the greatest scope for creativity.

The devil played the music to him in a dream - so goes the legend of Giuseppe Tartini's Devil's Trill Sonata. The demonic, the baroque love for ornamentation, diabolical trills, and elegant virtuosity - the ingredients for a classic of violin literature are already mixed.

Program:
Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741): Concerto in D major, RV 92 for recorder, violin, and Basso Continuo La Follia, RV 63 for recorder, violin, cello, and Basso Continuo Theme Sarabanda with 19 variations
