In the Year of Mozart, Justus Frantz will perform in Moscow with a program of overtures that combines the brilliance of operatic scores and the energy of a large orchestra. The subtle conducting style, attention to nuances, and vibrant sound of the Musica Viva Symphony promise an evening of bright emotions for lovers of classical music and those who are just getting acquainted with this world. When a year is officially dedicated to one composer, their name is heard everywhere, but it is the concert in the capital's hall that makes this dedication truly personal. The evening with Justus Frantz and the Musica Viva Symphony is structured as a journey through the world of Mozart's operatic overtures, where a few minutes of music are equal to a whole performance. Frantz is known for his respect for the original text and his ability to read the score as a living dialogue. In his interpretation, overtures become not just introductions, but independent dramas: colors intensify, characters are born, and light and shadow collide. The change of character happens swiftly, and the listener constantly feels the breath of the stage, even if there are no decorations and costumes in sight. The Musica Viva Symphony, which has long worked with 18th-century music, carefully builds a transparent sound of strings and a flexible pattern of winds. Joining Frantz is Yuri Martynov - a musician who feels equally confident in both chamber and symphonic repertoire. Their collaboration provides a rare sense of ensemble, where the conductor's gesture and the orchestra's response merge into a single impulse. Where to go in Moscow today will be told by our website.
