LE DONNE DI SANDRO BOTTICELLI. TRITTICO PER ORCHESTRA The Women of Sandro Botticelli
In the colourful imagery of the timeless beauty of the Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510), female figures dominate: ancient goddesses, nymphs and Madonnas. The Botticelli triptych refers to three paintings in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence to present sound-scented miniatures inspired by these, rather light and serene, characterised by dance. In the opening concert of the Passau Festival, the triptych will be heard alongside Mendelssohn's "Italian Symphony" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream", undoubtedly evoking these masterpieces of lightness and joie de vivre.
