Asolo Musica Brunello

The program of this second part of Bach’s masterpiece, entitled Passiosees in the lineup the Sonata No. 2 in A minor for violin BWV 1003, in four movements, and the Match no. 2 in D minor for violin BWV 1004, with the famous Chaconne at the end of the five movements. As broad as the ensemble of the four previous movements, with meditative sections alternating with moments of great tension, the Chaconne it is one of the best known pages of Bach’s instrumental music and reference of violin virtuosity.

On this occasion, the biblical meditations of the monk return to guide the thoughts and speculative investigations that arise from the scores, a reflection of a creative depth that releases worlds, imaginaries and emotions. Lino Breda to trace, in close dialogue with the musical narrative of the composer of Eisenach, the possibility of links with Sacred Scripture in the context of a sort of “Biblical history”.

In the skilful interweaving of music and words, the concert draws a welcoming and profound space that broadens the horizons between questions and possible answers, musical ideas and moments of elegant instrumental virtuosity, with the two protagonists engaged in probing all the complex intensity of Bach’s poetics. A journey through time and spirit to connect the here and the elsewhere, with music that meets the contemplative way in a dialogue that takes the public into a dimension of continuous research and high wisdom.

The musical season, organized by Asolo Musica in collaboration with the Cini allo Squero Foundation, is realized with the contribution of MIC – Ministry of Culture, Veneto Region and supported by the Pro-Gest Group, CentroMarca Banca, Zanta Pianoforti, Zoogami and Bellussi Spumanti.
