The symphonies and concert of Joseph Haydn come to life in the performance of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva under the direction of Alexander Rudin. A subtle sense of style, a lively dialogue between the orchestra and piano, and the energetic dramaturgy of the scores turn the evening into a concentrate of academic music from the classical era. Here, each piece sounds like a story. The concert program features key symphonic works by Joseph Haydn, whose music has become one of the foundations of European tradition. The changing tempos, witty contrasts, and bright energy of the scores allow us to hear how a lively, dynamic expression emerges from elegant classical forms, understandable to the listener of the 21st century. The Musica Viva Orchestra under the direction of Alexander Rudin is well-known for its attentive approach to style. The musicians rely on the principles of historically informed performance but maintain freedom and emotional immediacy. As a result, the strict architecture of the symphonies is combined with a sense of spontaneity, subtle rubato, and flexible dynamics, with each episode acquiring its own character. A special highlight of the evening is the piano concert featuring soloist Olga Azanova. The young pianist, who has already made a name for herself at the international Vladimir Krainev competition, demonstrates how differently the instrument can sound within a single style. In some sections, crystal cantilena and chamber intimacy prevail, while in others, rapid passages and brilliant virtuosity create a sense of dialogue between equal partners with the orchestra.
