Minasi - Mozart - Resonanz
Since 5 years, Riccardo Minasi and the Ensemble Resonanz get to grips with Mozart's symphonies. Something has grown. A new performance practice – historically informed and contemporary.
Riccardo Minasi, Conductor
Ensemble Resonanz
»Our goal with Mozart's symphonies is to bring together the drama of opera with the flexibility of a string quartet and to make the rhetorical and theatrical elements shine.«

»We should be aware that the perception of sound aesthetics is influenced by the environment in which we live. My goal is not to reproduce the sonic results of musicians who lived 250 years ago. To gain understanding of a musical text, I prefer to enlarge my research from the context of its creation to the history of performance practice throughout the centuries - until today.«
