  • LILYA ZILBERSTEIN Pianoforte FABIO LUISI Direttore ORCHESTRA DEL MAGGIO MUSICALE FIORENTINO
    SABATO 6 LUGLIO TEATRO DEI RINNOVATI, ORE 21.15 LILYA ZILBERSTEIN pianoforte FABIO LUISI direttore ORCHESTRA DEL MAGGIO MUSICALE FIORENTINO In collaborazione con Il concerto verrà trasmesso in diretta da Rai RadioTre «Che bellezza», scrive Beethoven in una let- tera all’amica Therese Malfatti, «potermene andare finalmente in giro fra siepi e boschi, fra alberi, erbe, rocce. Nessuno può amare la campagna quanto io l’amo. Boschi, albe- ri, rocce rimandano l’eco che l’uomo desi- dera udire…». L’eco che il compositore de- sidera ascoltare, immergendosi nella natura, è quello della presenza di Dio che si riflette nelle bellezze del creato: «Sono beato, felice nel bosco: ogni albero parla attraverso di te, o Dio! Quale magnificenza!». Un’eco tangibile di questa esperienza di contemplazione mistica si riflette anche nella sua Sinfonia Pastorale, che inaugura un nuo- vo capitolo nella storia dei rapporti tra mu- sica e natura che il Festival Out of Nature si appresta a ripercorrere nelle sue diverse de- clinazioni. I cinque movimenti sono accom- pagnati da brevi didascalie che evocano scene di vita campestre, e che nell’insieme delineano una sorta di “programma” di gui- da all’ascolto: 1. Piacevoli sentimenti che si destano nell’uomo all’arrivo in campagna; 2. Scena al ruscello; 3. Allegra riunione di campagnoli; 4. Tuono e tempesta; 5. Senti- menti di benevolenza e ringraziamento alla Divinità dopo la tempesta. La rappresentazione di scene di natura era una pratica assai diffusa nella musica stru- mentale del Settecento, dove di solito la natura veniva evocata attraverso una “tra- duzione” descrittiva, quasi onomatopeica, dell’immagine acustica di fenomeni naturali come il fluire dell’acqua, il canto degli uccel- li o la tempesta.

  • “I Consider Anika Vavic to Be an Extraordinarily Gifted Pianist.” Mariss Jansons
    Photo by Christine de Grancy “I consider Anika Vavic to be an extraordinarily gifted pianist.” Mariss Jansons “Great talent, brilliant technique and smart and passionate playing.” Zubin Mehta “The great gift of symphonic piano playing: as if several instruments were resounding at the same time“ Daniel Barenboim “Beautiful playing, understanding of the classical style and great technique.” Seiji Ozawa “No denying that she is an important newcomer” Gramophon A childhood winner of numerous international competitions and awards, the young pianist Anika Vavic began studying in Vienna at the age of sixteen, under Noel Flores at the University of Music and Performing Arts. Her musical development also received significant artistic inspiration from Elisabeth Leonskaja, Lazar Berman, Oleg Maisenberg, Alexander Satz and Mstislaw Rostropowitsch. Since her first public performance in her hometown Belgrade at the age of eight, she has consistently excelled in solo recitals, piano concerts, radio and TV programmes as well as in various chamber music formations, such as the „Horn-Trio-Wien“. She recorded her first CD with the renowned Quarteto Amazonia from Brazil. In October 2001 she won the Second Steinway-Competition in Vienna, receiving a further special prize for the best interpretation of Haydn. In November 2001 she was awarded a scholarship by the prestigious Herbert von Karajan Centrum in Vienna and the Gottfried von Einem Foundation. In 2002 she was granted the Austrian National Award for Women in the Arts. For the 2003/04 season Anika Vavic, following the recommendation of the Vienna Musikverein and the Vienna Konzerthaus, was chosen for the highly esteemed „Rising Stars“ concert-cycle, which has taken her as a soloist to the most famous concert houses in the world – amongst others to Carnegie Hall, New York; Wigmore Hall, London; Concertgebouw, Amsterdam; Vienna Musikverein; Cologne Philharmonie; Megaron, Athens; Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles and Cité de la Musique, Paris.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.
