Info & tickets for Beethoven/Giuliani in Utrecht (January 24th): click HERE
January 24th and 25th ’25 Izhar Elias will perform Mauro Giuliani’s 2nd concerto (opus 36) together with award winning string quartet PuraCorda (first prize Van Wassenaer Competition, Eemerging ensemble ’23), in Utrecht and in Katwijk.
The other part of the program consists of a historical chamber music version of Beethoven’s 7th symphony, played by PuraCorda plus violist Femke Huizinga.
It is a concert about the relation between Beethoven and Giuliani. Giuliani played the cello during the première of Beethoven’s 7th symphony in Vienna in 1813. One year earlier Giuliani had premiered his duzzling 2nd concerto.
Izhar will play on 2 original early 19th century guitars:
an original Carlo Guadagnini guitar from the time of Giuliani’s 2nd concerto premiere (1812)
and a Georg Stauffer guitar from Vienna, the same kind Giuliani could have been played.
