Musical kaleidoscope
Venice is more than just a city. It is a place of longing that has fascinated people for centuries - including cellist Anastasia Kobekina. With the Basel Chamber Orchestra, she creates a musical portrait of the lagoon city with works from the Baroque to the present day. Of course, some of Antonio Vivaldi's magnificent cello concertos, which he composed as a teacher at the Ospedale della Pietà girls' conservatory, are not to be missed. But the violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini also paid a visit to Venice and composed variations on the carnival. Gabriel Fauré spent several weeks in a music salon on the Grand Canal in the city he loved so much and composed in the coffee house on St. Mark's Square. Whether the architectural elegance, the proximity to the sea, the limestone from which the city is built - Kobekina tries to capture the atmosphere of this extraordinary city in various sounds.
