Patricia Kopatchinskaja is captivating: free-spirited, imaginative, vivid, shoeless. A perfect guest director for the ACO. She’ll perform not one, not two, but three concertos, including a rarity by Haydn. Alternating fury and calm, Vivaldi published The Storm at Sea with The Four Seasons to show the world just how theatrical music can be. From distant Armenia comes the strong, emotionally direct music of Tigran Mansurian and a violin concerto he wrote for Patricia. And from close to her Moldovan home comes Veress’ jaunty original Transylvanian folk music. Schütz’s German Magnificat, written for two choirs like the spectacular Venetian ceremonial music of his teacher Gabrieli, is transcribed for string orchestra, in the tradition of Byrd’s viol consorts and Vaughan Williams’ Tallis Fantasia.
Hearing [the ACO] perform, you could easily believe that its kinetic, precise and engaging playing was simply too exuberant to be bottled up by sitting down. New York Times, 2009
