Violinist Rodolfo Richter Returns As Guest Director for a Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 & 6, 2016
Violinist Rodolfo Richter Returns as Guest Director for A Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 & 6, 2016 “Rodolfo Richter led with his violin; when his solo playing came to the fore he displayed a notably smooth, glowing tone.” (Concerto.net) Toronto, Canada, October 20, 2016 … Acclaimed violin virtuoso Rodolfo Richter returns as guest director for A Grand Tour of Italy, December 1 to 4 at Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre, and December 6 at Toronto Centre for the Arts. This Tafelmusik program captures the ambitious, experimental energy that characterized the Seventeenth-century Italian music scene, and demonstrates how early innovators inspired later masters, including Vivaldi and Corelli. A Grand Tour of Italy features the Tafelmusik solo concerto debut of the orchestra’s own Cristina Zacharias, violin. Seventeenth-century Italy was at the vanguard of European musical trends, and tourists flocked there to devour the new “baroque” style, finding music that was fresh, exhilarating, and even shocking in its use of free form and improvisation. A Grand Tour of Italy includes music by Dario Castello and Giovanni Legrenzi, who experimented with the sonata form as early as 1629; a lively set of variations on the bergamasca bass line by Marco Uccellini; and selections by two well-travelled musicians, Antonio Bertali and Biagio Marini, who brought their compositions and musical influence to Austria, Germany, and Belgium. These early innovators paved the way for a subsequent generation of Italian composers whose music will be performed on the program: the Concerto grosso in A Minor by Giuseppe Valentini, the beloved Christmas Concerto by Arcangelo Corelli, and the Concerto no.

Once again, we continue the tradition established by our founder, Burton Karson, of presenting five concerts over eight days. Violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock, now in her ninth year as artistic director, programmed her first “Bach-Fest” back in 2015, and this year she felt the time was right to revisit the concept: a week of glorious Bach, explored from many angles. Our Festival Finale has always been devoted to vocal masterpieces; this year the Wednesday program is too. And the “Milieu” of this season’s title will be explored through music by Bach’s influencers and contemporaries, creating a fascinating historical and musical journey.
