    A Mysterious Musical World

    “Come in!” invites the title of Vladimir Martynov’s work for two violins and strings. So we open our ears and enter this mysterious musical world ...

Gidon Kremer and Tatyana Grindenko are the two violinists, and the strings are the members of Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica. The work, “Come in!” is prefaced by these words supposedly said by an ancient hermit to his disciple according to Martynov: “Strive to enter the inner cell of your soul and there you will behold the heavenly cell....All our deeds are but a timid knocking on this mysterious door....All our hopes are to hear, one day, perhaps, a voice that would respond: “Come in!”

Haydn’s Sinfonia concertante in B-flat offers more familiar fare, with four featured soloists: violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch, cellist, david Watkin, oboist Anthony Robson and bassoonist Felix Warnock. Wallfisch also conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and an enlightened performance it is!
