The orchestra’s young concertmaster and soloist Shunske Sato remarks that he and the ensemble search for “something new in every moment.” “Imagination, personality and one’s own view of a piece of music were what was expected” in performance up until the 20th century, he says.
Without a doubt, the special energy that Concerto Köln brings to Vivaldi is due to its unique self-governing structure and an unbroken desire to find the unknown. In the hands of this ensemble, some of the most ubiquitous examples of baroque music on hard drives and CD shelves and piped into department stores, elevators, and telephones around the world take on an entirely new life, with a freshness and vigor that could only come from an ensemble like this one. With more than 200 recordings and countless re-imaginings and new works inspired by the opus, it is hard to believe that a 30-year-old ensemble performing in the 21st century could bring something new and exciting to Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, but that is exactly what Concerto Köln, a period chamber orchestra from Germany, accomplishes. 3 RV 293, "Autumn"Ĭoncerto in F minor, Op. 12 Intermission Giuseppe Valentini: Concerto for Four Violins in A minor, Op.
