The 11th Eilat Chamber Music Festival (Leonid Rosenberg - founder and musical director) taking
place at the Dan Eilat Hotel from February 3rd to 6th 2016, will feature first class artists from many countries, offering a rich
selection of music of all kinds. Baroque music aficionados will be pleased to
know that programs will also cater to their taste. In “Handel and the Italian
Baroque” (Friday February 5th,, 17:00), Dutch mezzo-soprano Rosanne
van Sandwyk will join the prestigious Concerto
Köln
in a concert of works by Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco, Locatelli, Vivaldi,
G.B.Sammartini, Charles Avison and Telemann. Established 30 years ago and
ranked among today’s leading ensembles engaging in historically informed
performance, Concerto Köln aims to rediscover and perform works of composers who
have remained overshadowed by more celebrated names; hence their performance of
the piece by Verona-born composer and ‘cellist Dall’Abaco (1675-1742). Then, on
Saturday February 6th at 17:00, Concerto Köln will perform four of Bach’s
Brandenburg Concertos. What will be of particular interest in No.4 are the “echo
flutes”, double recorders built for the Cologne group according to what Bach seems
to have had in mind for the work. On February 5th at 21:00 Baroque
music lovers are in for another treat: conductor and violinist David Grimal
(France) will solo with “Les Dissonances”, the orchestra he formed in 2004, in
Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” concertos, this work to be followed by Piazzolla’s “Four
Seasons of Buenos Aires” (Brazilian music with some subtle quotes from Vivaldi’s
“Four Seasons”). “Les Dissonances” comprises musicians from all over Europe
and, as the program shows, plays works of a very wide range.
Canadian-German trumpeter Jens Lindemann and the
International Brass Collective will open their night-owl concert (February 3rd,
23:00) with works by Bach and Vivaldi, then to proceed to pieces by Mozart,
Morley Calvert, Kevin McKee, Piazzolla, Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, Ian MacDougall…and
finishing with Liszr! The Belgian-based “Trilogy”
String Trio, together with piano and percussion, will actually open its wildly
non-mainstream performance on February 5th at 23:00 with the Allegro
from their own transcription of Vivaldi’s Concerto in A-minor RV522. Created in
2011 by three internationally-acclaimed violinists, “Trilogy”‘s aim is to take
a fresh look the great works of Classical and popular repertoire.
And a concert for the whole family – “A Bach Celebration” - February
6th at 11:00 will feature Moscow-born Israeli clown and actor Fyodor
Makarov and a line-up of Israeli and overseas singers and instrumentalists in a
tale of confusion in which a sloppy stage-worker solves the chaos he has got
himself into by speaking directly to Bach, requesting him to write music that
is more cheerful.
