THE FOUR SEASONS IN BUENOS AIRES
What are the seasons like in Buenos Aires? The Argentine tango master Piazzolla gives the answer in his original masterpiece for violin and orchestra on an evening where the multi-talented Alexandra Conunova takes on the dual role of violin soloist and conductor. A feat she repeats in the newly discovered Concerto da camera by Louiré.

As a violinist, Alexandra Conunova from Moldova won the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition in 2015. But Conunova is also a dazzling conductor. The fact that she can fulfill both roles in two demanding works is evidence of a quite extraordinary talent.

The composer Astor Piazzolla is known and loved worldwide for his fusion of tango music and classical European music. In the 1960s, he was inspired by Vivaldi's immortal classic to write The Four Seasons in Buenos Aires . The work is a tribute to Argentina's capital and to the tango, as it is danced there in all seasons.

Despite the French-sounding name, the composer was Arthur Louiré from Russia. He lived during the great political upheavals in Russia and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. As a refugee, Louiré ended up in the USA, where in 1948 he composed his violin concerto Concerto da camera – catchy and melodious music, which in recent years has been on the music stands of orchestras all over the world.

DE FIRE ÅRSTIDER I BUENOS AIRES
Hvordan lyder årstiderne i Buenos Aires? Den argentinske tangomester Piazzolla giver svaret i sit originale storværk for violin og orkester på en aften, hvor multitalentet Alexandra Conunova indtager dobbeltrollen som violinsolist og dirigent. En bedrift, hun gentager i den nyopdagede Concerto da camera af Louiré.

Som violinist vandt Alexandra Conunova fra Moldova i 2015 den prestigefyldte Tjajkovskij-konkurrence. Men Conunova er også en blænd­ende dirigent. At hun kan udfylde begge roller i to krævende værker, vidner om et ganske ekstra­ordinært talent.

Komponisten Astor Piazzolla er kendt og elsket verden over for sin fusion af tangomusikken og den klassiske europæiske musik. I 1960­erne lod han sig inspirere af Vivaldis udødelige klassiker til at skrive De fire årstider i Buenos Aires. Værket er en hyldest til Argentinas hovedstad og til tangoen, som den bliver danset dér på alle årstider.

Trods det franskklingende navn var komponisten Arthur Louiré fra Rusland. Han levede under de store politiske omvæltninger i Rusland og Europa i første halvdel af 1900-tallet. Som flygtning endte Louiré i USA, hvor han i 1948 komponerede sin violinkoncert Concerto da camera – iørefaldende og melodiøs musik, som i de seneste år har stået på nodestativerne hos alverdens orkestre.
