Last-minute change in the Enescu Festival lineup: Hungarian violinist Kristóf Baráti and British violist Timothy Ridout will take the stage at the Romanian Athenaeum on Tuesday, September 19th, in a concert performed alongside the Camerata Salzburg, conducted by Gregory Ahss.
Initially announced with Dutch violinist Janine Jansen, the concert will feature the following program:
Haydn Symphony No. 6 in D major Hob. I:6, Morning
Mozart Concerto No. 3 in G major for violin and orchestra K. 216, Strassburg
Haydn Symphony No. 7 in C major Hob. I:7, Noon
Mozart Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola, and orchestra in E-flat major K. 364
Kristóf Baráti is an internationally acclaimed violinist, described as having “a true tonal aesthetic of the highest level“. In recent years, he has performed at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, at London’s Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and in 2019, he opened the Verbier Festival, accompanied by the Verbier Festival Orchestra. Baráti has played with orchestras such as the Zurich Tonhalle, Oslo Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony, Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal, BBC Scottish Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, and the Hague Philharmonic, among others.
Timothy Ridout, a BBC New Generation artist and member of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, is one of the most sought-after violists of his generation. In this season, Ridout will perform with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra, hr-Sinfonieorchester, Odense Symphony Orchestra, San Jose Symphony, and Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, among others.
On September 20th, in Sibiu, Camerata Salzburg will present the same program alongside Kristóf Baráti and Timothy Ridout, conducted by Gregory Ahss.
