Wonderful Concert Evening in Knittelfeld
Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms – with such wonderful sounds, the Sinfonietta Baden enchanted its audience on Tuesday at Knittelfeld’s Kulturhaus.
The Paris Symphony KV 297 provided a festive opening for the evening. It has only three movements, but boasts a rich instrumentation.
Afterwards, the piano soloist Anika Vavic entered the stage. Mariss Jansons, Zubin Mehta and Seiji Ozawa have praised the Belgrade-born pianist's extraordinary talent, brilliant technique, passionate playing, and a profound understanding of the classical style. Under her hands, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 sounded like fresh air and the purest water.
After the intermission, Johannes Brahms was the featured composer. Even in the first movement, one had the feeling of standing in a wind-swept meadow of flowers. The concert evening with the guests from Lower Austria left a pleasant impression.
