You will hear Pietro Locatelli's unique work, "Concerto Grosso No. 6 in F minor, known as "Il Pianto d'Arianna" (Ariadne's Lament)." This is not just an abstract concerto, but a true 18th-century symphonic poem, a musical illustration of an ancient myth. The composer depicts the story of Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus on the deserted island of Naxos: from grief and despair to the moment when she is found and consoled by the god Dionysus. In this concerto, Locatelli departs from traditional structure, creating a continuous flow of music, where movements follow one another without a break (attacca), subordinated to a single dramatic plot. The solo violin becomes the heroine's voice, her "lament," which the entire orchestra responds to and empathizes with. This is a rare example of such passionate and theatrical storytelling in instrumental music in the Baroque era. The Concerto Köln ensemble, a virtuoso master of the language of Baroque rhetoric and playing period instruments, reveals the full palette of emotions created by Locatelli. From piercing dissonances and mournful melodies to the enlightened and peaceful final bars, their performance makes you relive the story. Play it without interruption and let the music draw you into the very heart of Baroque feeling. This is a concert for thoughtful listening and empathy.
