Lontano, conducted by Odaline de la Martinez;
Fiammetta Tarli & Ivo Varbanov Piano Duo

Listening to the expressive interplay of simultaneously unfolding melodies tends to make us oblivious to the material source of the sounds. The solos, duos, and trios in this concert feature pairs of violins, trumpets, double basses and pianos, or single instruments playing pairs of lines. Submerged in the interactions between distinct, yet inseparable, musical lines, as for Shakespeare’s Trinculo in The Tempest, the music magically becomes disembodied and we find ourselves enthralled by the ‘tune of our catch, played by the picture of Nobody’.
