Goldberg Variations "Paradise of Fools" - An exquisite concert of sounding fables II
- Tom Quaas, Reader
- Ekaterina Gorynina, violoncello
- Yuri Tarasenok, accordion
- Robert Umansky, piano
Framed by stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer, who dedicated his book to the many children who did not have the opportunity to grow up because of the stupid wars, you will experience a lot of music during this evening. Starting with a composition by Galina Ustvolskaya, whose works were partly forbidden to be performed in the Soviet Union, through Krzysztof Penderecki, whose compositional style marked the era of the Polish avant-garde, you will hear, among others, music by Niccolò Paganini, the circus artist among violinists, who did not want anyone else to ever be able to play his works.
The program of the second Paradise Evening has a modified music selection compared to the first evening!
