Three Baroque composers –
Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741)
Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706)
and some of their famous musical works were brought to life on one October afternoon at the Bedesten in Nicosia by the Presidential Symphony Orchestra and guest soloists. A bridge was established over centuries to a special historical period in music to music lovers of 2018 sitting in a historical building the first stones of which were laid in the 6th century.
It was an uplifting feeling to listen to notes written down so long ago and at the same time touching us deeply and played on instruments that were partly created at the same period or before.
The compositions are very clear and simple in construction, serene, peaceful and we enjoyed the deep understanding of the orchestra and the soloists. And while we were following the notes floating through the beautiful hall, I saw – through the high windows – passers-by stopping and wondering where these beautiful tunes came from.
