Sehr behaglich Cast Joshua Bell — Violinist Chen Reiss — Soprano The Pan-Caucasian Youth Orchestra Gianandrea Noseda — Conductor Program notes The Tsinandali Festival is back for its sixth edition in 2024! Every year since 2019, the greatest performers, conductors, composers, and artists from all over the world have joined forces in the magnificent village of Tsinandali, in eastern Georgia, to promote music in this region at the crossroads of Europe and Asia — affording young musicians from the Caucasus the opportunity to study and perform with top-name artists, and offering audiences worldwide an unforgettable musical experience in an idyllic locale. In this Romantic feast, the Pan-Caucasian Youth Orchestra, made up of young artists from the region, and their celebrated music director Gianandrea Noseda join violin superstar Joshua Bell in the Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor by Henryk Wienawski — the virtuoso’s most enduring work, both technically demanding and sweepingly melodic — and then move on to Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in G. This masterpiece of cyclic form is centered around the song “Das himmlische Leben“ (The Heavenly Life), a child’s vision of heaven performed here by acclaimed soprano Chen Reiss.
