Vivaldi In Love
04 June Sweden / Stockholm
“Like a celebrated master / she plays the harpsichord, the violin / the cello and the viola d’amore”: these anonymous verses celebrate Anna Maria, the most brilliant of the young orphans of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, whose art enchanted visitors and inspired the “Red Priest” to teach her the violin as well as the sweet and enchanting viola d’amore, and to compose some of his virtuosic concertos for this complex twelve-stringed instrument, capable of evoking the Orient.
The viola d’amore is the instrument that Alessandro Tamperi, long-standing soloist of the Accademia Bizantina, will alternate with the agile violin, proposing concertos from the treasure trove of inventions of Vivaldi’s L’estro armonico, as well as works such as the rare 1740 symphony dedicated to the Saxon prince, the guest of honour of a gala concert at the Pietà.
Following the concert in Stockholm, Accademia Bizantina will perform the programme "Vivaldi in Love" at Ravenna Festival on June 17.
