This program is an opportunity to discover the wonderful music of the unknown first Russian classical music composer.

Luigi Madonis, a disciple of Vivaldi, became one of the foremost Russian composers.

Whilst researching, with the help of a musician colleague, the original works of Russian composers for the programme of the first Yuri Yankelevitch international competition (which  I founded and which took place in Omsk in Siberia in 2009), I discovered scores which had been kept for several centuries in the Saint-Petersburg library.  The latter consisted of a collection of 12 ‘symphonies’ by Luigi Madonis, published in 1738 in Saint-Petersburg and dedicated to the Empress Anna. These are sonatas for the violin and bass, which are among the earliest scores of music ever printed in Russia. There remain only 2 examples in good condition… His contemporaries considered Madonis to be a virtuoso – a master of his art.

In preparing the recording of the 12 Sonatas by Madonis with my great partner, cembalist Zvi Meniker.
