The musical world of Michala Petri and Lars Hannibal is founded on dialogue, presence, and a deep sense of communication. Their ongoing exchange – with one another, with the music, and with the audience – forms the core of an experience that transcends the boundaries of a traditional concert, creating a bond that resonates all the way to the furthest rows of the concert hall.
For this performance, they are joined by Danish-German double bassist Frank Reinecke (b. 1960, Hamburg). Celebrated as both a soloist and chamber musician, especially within contemporary music, Reinecke unites tradition and innovation, expanding the double bass’s repertoire and expressive range.
The programme offers a journey through the Baroque and Renaissance, rich in colour, emotion, and refinement. With recorder, lute, and bass, the ensemble interprets works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Arcangelo Corelli, Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Friedrich Handel, and Diego Ortiz – composers who each shaped Baroque and early music in distinct ways. From Bach’s Sonata in F major and movements from his famous Cello Suite in G major – here reimagined in a poetic arrangement for alto recorder – to the virtuosity and elegance of Vivaldi’s and Handel’s sonatas, the music moves seamlessly between intimacy, grace, and exuberant energy. Corelli’s iconic La Folia adds dramatic power with its pulsing variations and quintessential Italian pathos.
The evening concludes in Diego Ortiz’s vibrant Renaissance soundscape, where five ricercares – originally conceived as improvisatory models – are brought to life through close interplay between recorder, lute, and bass. It is a sensuous journey through timbre and time, shaped by three seasoned musicians performing with both profound presence and artistic authority.
After the concert, you are invited to an Artist Talk in the Upper Rotunda of the Tivoli Concert Hall. Admission is free, and the talk will begin at approximately 18:45.
