The return of Avi Avital
Baroque mandolin reinvented Avi Avital has revolutionized the perception of the mandolin in the world of classical music. The charismatic virtuoso brings an orchestral dimension and a presence to this instrument that fascinates audiences worldwide. Vivaldi and the Venetian spirit Antonio Vivaldi composed for the mandolin with his characteristic brilliance and virtuosity. The Concerto in C major, RV 425, showcases the full flair of Vivaldian writing, while the Concerto for Lute in D major, transcribed by Avital, reveals the natural affinities between these plucked string instruments. Bach transcribed and transformed Avi Avital takes on two concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach – the Keyboard Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052, and the Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041 – adapting them for the mandolin. These bold transcriptions offer a new perspective on familiar works, revealing unexpected textures. From Scarlatti to Avison Charles Avison enriches the program with his reinterpretation of Domenico Scarlatti in a concerto grosso of refined elegance. In all the concertante works, Avi Avital directs Les Violons du Roy from his instrument, in an irresistible symbiosis between soloist and ensemble.
