Shows

The Swiss “magician of the violin” Porträt der Geigerin Chouchane Siranossian mit Violoine Chouchane Siranossian guides us through every winter soundscape in this Baroque Christmas concert: radiant brilliance, gentle lullabies, and Vivaldi’s icily crackling snowstorms.

Content

icy temperatures and the comforting warmth

A Christmas concert amidst icy temperatures and the comforting warmth of the Nativity. The celebrated Baroque violinist Chouchane Siranossian sweeps across the lagoon through raging ice storms, yet her elegance rivals that of the ice skaters in Vivaldi’s Winter. She portrays the shepherds at the manger in sweet tones – now with the down-to-earth Styrian charm of Fux, now with the Roman elegance of Corelli, now with the dreamy Venetian style of Tartini.

Violin

Chouchane Siranossian

Outstanding technique, radiant expressiveness, and a uniquely fiery playing style have made the French-Swiss virtuoso one of the most sought-after Baroque performers of our time. Reinhard Goebel awakened her much-praised spirit of discovery at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg, inspiring the versatile violinist to shape unexpected beacons of brilliance from Baroque treasures.
