Glamour of the South

Vanessa Benelli Mosell, conductor from Italy, paints a vivid portrait of her home country – from Cimarosa’s The Secret Marriage to Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony. The latter’s famous violin concerto also has a southern flair although it was composed in the hills of Hesse around Frankfurt. It was not far from there, at Kronberg Academy, that Nikita Boriso-Glebsky received the finishing touches to becoming the virtuoso violinist he is today.

Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective played unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and worked with outstanding conductors.

Conductor

Gramophone magazine praised her ‘dazzling technical mastery of demanding music’. The universal ability of the pianist and conductor was already evident when she made her solo debut in New York at the age of 11. Today, the Italian is regarded as a rising star in both the classical and contemporary repertoire and has made guest appearances with the United Europe Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.
