Patricia Kopatchinskaja is one of the most exciting musicians working today. Her preference for playing barefoot is only the most obvious of her trademarks. Much more important are her uncompromising artistry and authenticity – all at the highest technical level, it goes without saying. Her constant striving for directness of expression and her love of curating evocative programmes are traits she shares with Giovanni Antonini and his outstanding Ensemble Il Giardino Armonico. She joins them in this Matinee in the Auditorium for a stimulating voyage through musical history.
