We would like to inform our audience that according to the government decision effective from 11 November 2020, no public events can be held, so we are unable to hold concerts at the Liszt Academy with an audience. However, our audience will not be left without a concert experience, as most of our performances will be held and broadcast online in our Digital Concert Hall, and most of the concerts of the orchestras organizing concert series at the Liszt Academy will also be available online.

Featuring on flautino and conductor: Giovanni Antonini
It is almost certain that the vast majority of music aficionados would call Paganini the most famous violinist of all time. Far fewer people are aware of the masters who paved the way for the ‘devil’s violinist’, and without whom his art would never have been born. Among these predecessors, the little-known but hugely influential Pietro Antonio Locatelli (1695‒1764) wrote the opus 3 L’arte del violino series made up of 12 violin concertos, which raised virtuosity to new heights: these works are interspersed with astounding highs, double stops and string harmonics. On top of this, for solo violinists Locatelli composed different capriccios in the first and last movements of every work as cadences. (This effect is clearly evident in Paganini’s 24 Caprices.) During this recital the audience has the chance to get acquainted with three pieces from this highly influential series and three concerto grossos by the same composer, as interpreted by Il Giardino Armonico, who have enjoyed unbroken popularity for decades, together with the versatile violinist Isabelle Faust.
