CANON

MARIINSKI THEATER ''THE TROYANS''

Berlioz’s epic opera “Les Troyens” is regarded as his most ambitious and powerful work. Staging the demanding and tragic performance is a real challenge! It took the Mariinsky Theater several years to bring the masterpiece together in Russia’s hub of classical music, St Petersburg.

NICCOLO PAGANINI

Niccolò Paganini (1782 – 1840)

Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 6

Hilary Hahn is making history as we speak: this classical music recording puts her among the top violinists in the world.

An astonishing performance unlike any existing one, especially with
regard to form, intonation and musical insight of the violinist.


 Hilary’s lyrical personality is heard throughout the performance, right
from the beginning. Compare her entrance (some 3 minutes into the first
movement, after an introduction from the orchestra) to Salvatore
Accardo’s:

The Great Fugue played by the Diotima Quartet among the patients of a mental hospital


The Great Fugue by Beethoven is one of his greatest achievements, one of the most powerful scores ever written for a string quartet. He composed it at the very end of his life, while he was completely deaf, and desperate.


The music seems first to be very hard and tortured but it countains also a very powerful feeling of joy and liberation. That is why we wanted to film this performance among the patients of a mental institution, Sainte Anne, in Paris.
