Newcomers to Ljubljana, yet already among the leading interpreters of historically informed performance practice on the international music scene, the Berlin Baroque Soloists (1995) are an ensemble of virtuosos dedicated to the music of the 17th– and 18th–centuries and are also members of the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic. The unique and inimitable sound of period performance emerges in a style that transcends centuries, placing the music of the past in the light of the present. Named “Ensemble of the Year 2024” (Opus Klassik) and winners of the 2019 Classical Music Award, the ensemble’s collaborations with world-class musicians further testify to their eminence. Among these luminaries is Daniil Trifonov – an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, winner of a 2018 Grammy Award, and one of the foremost virtuosos of contemporary musical life.

The evening’s dazzling programme dusts the cobwebs off rarely heard works, including an extraordinary example of Mozart’s late compositional excellence and a lesser-known testament to the brilliance and genius of C. Ph. E. Bach, while placing Beethoven’s legacy at its heart – culminating in a youthful piano concerto orchestrated by Reinhard Goebel, artistic director and a living legend of early music. Daniil Trifonov will demonstrate his interpretive acumen on a period-authentic historical fortepiano, providing a unique sonic backdrop.
