Info for Tango Seasons

Die Cappella Gabetta bietet in ihrem neusten Programm eine einzigartige Collage aus Ba- rock und argentinischem Tango, die einer Spurensuche des populären Tangos, wie ihn As- tor Piazzolla auslegte, gleich kommt.

Die Cappella Gabetta spielt beide Stile, Vivaldi und Piazzolla, auf Barockinstrumenten und bietet dem Hörer eine noch nie da gewesene Verschmelzung von Klang und Stil an; ein „Crossover“ im Sinne einer Annäherung zweier Musikwelten, wobei es bei beiden Kompo- nisten um dasselbe geht: Die Faszination des Wechsels der Jahreszeiten, die musikalische Umschreibung des Rhythmus der vier Jahreszeiten, die vielleicht die erste säkulare Pro- grammmusik der Musikgeschichte darstellt und den Menschen heute wie zu Zeiten Piazzol- las und Vivaldis fesselt.

Die Ursprünge des Tangos sind vielfältig. Eine eindeutige Linie zur italienischen Barockmu- sik ist nicht auszumachen, liegt aber doch nahe, denn unter den Hunderttausenden italieni- scher Auswanderer des 17./18. Jahrhunderts nach Südamerika waren auch Musiker, die die Barockmusik aus Italien und Spanien in der neuen Welt spielten und wo sie auf Menschen anderer Kulturen traf; auf Eingeborene, auf schwarzafrikanische Sklaven, auf Einwanderer anderer europäische Staaten und auf die jüdische Musik.

Andres Gabetta & Cappella Gabetta
The «Cappella Gabetta» has enabled Sol Gabetta to make one of her musical dreams come true. She, her brother – concertmaster Andres Gabetta – and a hand-picked team of highly qualified musicians from the same musical background devise repertoires of baroque and early classical music which they perform on original instruments at concerts and in the studio.

The ensemble was established in December 2010, and has already made very successful guest appearances in Paris (Salle Gaveau), Hamburg (Musikhalle), Munich (Prinzregententheater), Zurich (Tonhalle), Berlin (Philharmonie) and Istanbul, as well as at illustrious festivals such as the Bremen Music Festival, Festival Baroque de Lyon, Rheingau Music Festival and others.

Since 2011, the Cappella Gabetta has made two recordings for Sony Music; one of its Italian baroque repertoire featuring Sol Gabetta (which includes several world premiere recordings of works by Giovanni Platti), and another on which the mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux performs music by Handel and Hasse. The plaudits received by the orchestra for these CDs have included being selected as the «Recording of the Month» by Gramophone magazine, and as the «CD of the week» on the NDR-Kultur, BR-Klassik and RBB (Berlin) radio stations.

The Cappella Gabetta has, to an increasing extent, been inviting other distinguished instrumentalists and vocalists to participate in joint concert and recording projects in the area of baroque and early classical music, including the soprano Simone Kermes, the aforementioned mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux, the soprano Nuria Rial, the trumpet virtuoso Gabor Boldoczki and the violinist Giuliano Carmignola.

As well as performing masterpieces by famous baroque and early classical composers, the Cappella is also keen to introduce audiences to rare gems by lesser known composers such as Giovanni Platti, Fortunato Chelleri, Andrea Zani and Johann Adolph Hasse. It has developed a particularly close working relationship with Schloss Wiesentheid music archive.

The members of the Cappella Gabetta are hand-picked specialists from the early music scene who met while working together at «kammerorchesterbasel», the «Orchestre Baroque de Limoges», «Il Giardino Armonico», «La Chimera» and elsewhere.

Its future plans include touring with Sol Gabetta and showcasing the repertoire from its third CD of works by Vivaldi and his contemporaries, as well as collaborating with trumpet virtuoso Gabor Boldoczki and vocalists Simone Kermes and Vivica Genaux on a programme of concerts and studio recordings.

Concertmaster Andres Gabetta is recognised as a brilliant baroque violinist. He is one of the closest musical associates of the prominent cellist and conductor Christoph Coin, in whose orchestra, the Orchestre Baroque de Limonges, Gabetta is the concertmaster. He also appears regularly as concertmaster of the kammerorchesterbasel. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for his recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (Naxos) featuring his own ensemble, the Swiss Baroque Soloists.
