Ballads and Songs Without Words – Patricia Kopatchinskaja & Fazil Say
Chamber music
Saturday 7 August 2021
(1) 6 pm | (2) 8.30 pm, Saanen Church
More faithful friends of the event! For their meeting at the summit, the “indomitable” Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Fazil Say have chosen Schubert, Brahms and Janáček's all too rare Violin Sonata. “I wrote this sonata in 1914 while we were waiting for the Russians in Moravia,” reveals the musician. Russians whom he holds in his heart and whose soul and culture are even reflected in his music, such as the citations from his own opera “Katja Kabanova”, which indeed tells a Russian story.
The concert by Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Fazil Say will be broadcast live from 8.30 pm on gstaaddigitalfestival.ch.
This concert is also being filmed and recorded and can be viewed at a later point on gstaaddigitalfestival.ch. The Gstaad Digital Festival newsletter will inform you about the details of its publication.
