On June 11, the Orchestra of the Bard College Conservatory will take the stage of the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory under the baton of the Bard College President, Leon Botstein. Gioacchino Rossini's, Richard Wagner's, Witold Lutosławski's and Dmitry Shostakovich's music will be performed.
Love, Loss and Lament, is a multi-faceted programme of Italian madrigals from the 16th and 17th centuries, exploring the whole range of emotions that composers and poets summoned up in their works. Landi's pure, classical style and the vivid narratives of Francesco Eredi in his settings of Torquato Tasso; the anguished, drawn-out dissonances of Pallavicino and the fevered chromaticism of Monteverdi's later madrigals: all of these combine to create a dazzling evening of Italian passion and emotion.
