A musical journey around the world. The instrumental programme “Seasons” was presented in Revda by the orchestra “Moscow Virtuosi”. The full auditorium of the Palace of Culture managed to gather the capital’s guests on Saturday, December 10. The musicians played masterpieces of instrumental classics for citizens. The first part of the concert featured a cycle of Russian compositions from 12 pieces by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Irina Vinkevich, musicologist at the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic:

– And the second section will feature Italian classics – the famous “Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi and the magnificent soloist Alexei Lundin. And, quite rarely performed and extremely interesting in the interpretation of this very group, the Astor Piazzolla cycle “Seasons in Buenos Aires”.

To the sound of the violins, the artists “walked” around the world with their listeners. The musical journey began in snow-covered Russia, moved discreetly into the hot Mediterranean, and in the rhythm of tango ended in the southern hemisphere of the Earth. In the round-the-world instrumental journey, no one was bored: the audience enjoyed “live” music, and “Virtuosos” enjoyed their own game.

Alexey Lundin, Honoured Artist of Russia, the first violin “Virtuosos of Moscow”:

– Three completely different worlds – the romantic world, the world of baroque and, one might say, the 20th century. It is quite curious to play this, and I think listening to it is also very curious.

“Moscow Virtuosi” is a state chamber orchestra that has been playing since 1979. The orchestra literally immediately received international recognition. Today every musician is able to perform solo. Here in Revda, “Virtuosos” have replaced and supported each other, traveling with the audience in the time machine.
