ACADEMIC YEAR OPENING CONCERT
saturday · 04.12.2021 8.00 p.m.
Concerto in re maggiore per violino e orchestra, op. 77
Violino Solista: Teofil Milenkovic
Sinfonia n. 4 in mi minore per orchestra, op. 98
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) è uno dei più significativi compositori del repertorio romantico. Il suo nome è legato a molti brani che costituiscono un cardine fondamentale del repertorio strumentale cameristico e sinfonico. In realtà la sua musica non è affatto semplice sotto il profilo contenutistico ed esecutivo. Ed è proprio per questo che i suoi brani costituiscono un banco di prova importante per ogni musicista.
Attivo principalmente a Vienna – città nella quale è morto –, Brahms assume nella critica e nella filosofia estetica tedesca un ruolo significativo.
Eduard Hanslick parlò di lui e di Wagner come di due entità contrapposte entro cui leggere i destini della musica. Per il critico viennese, però, il compositore amburghese, con la sua produzione, meglio di ogni altro aveva cambiato i presupposti della musica trascinando il linguaggio corrente nell’ambito della “musica assoluta”, cosa che non era riuscita al “concorrente”.
Per questa ragione il Conservatorio Claudio Monteverdi di Bolzano è orgoglioso di presentare agli ascoltatori due composizioni che per intensità, complessità e qualità estetica, hanno cambiato il panorama sinfonico e concertistico internazionale.

As a soloist, her discography includes her solo album for romantic flute with fortepianist Olga Pashchenko featuring works by Beethoven, Kuhlau, Doppler and Walckiers (Alpha), Telemann’s « Concerto for traverso and recorder » with Erik Bosgraaf (Brilliant classics), Molter’s « Concerto for traverso in D major » with Die Kölner Akademie (CPO), « The Dubhlinn Gardens » -18th Century Irish music with a nocte temporis (Alpha) and CPE Bach and Telemann’s Quartets with quartet nevermind (Alpha Classics).
In addition, passionate about traditional music and dance, the intense focus on the Irish flute leads her to make researches about Irish repertoire of the 18th- and 19th-century. Equally at home on the traverso, modern flute and romantic flute, Anna is regularly invited to give masterclasses in France and abroad and teaches historical flutes at the prestigious Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.
