Patricia Kopatchinskaja: "Five Dreams" for violin, cello, and chamber orchestra (world premiere of the new version)
Patricia Kopatchinskaja returns to the Forward Festival for the third time. Joined by the acclaimed young cellist Anastasia Kobekina, she will perform her own double concerto, which she premiered in 2024 under the title a "Play" and has now revised. In this work, personal experiences and encounters reverberate across five dreamlike scenes. We also commemorate Sofia Gubaidulina, who passed away in March. Her creative work was deeply rooted in faith. The piano concerto "Introitus", for example, seeks to gradually draw the listener into spiritual contemplation. Finally, Shawn Jaeger presents a new work written for Lucerne Festival Forward, scored for 25 strings, in which "dense harmonies rise and erode, like mountains," according to the composer.
