Once again music opens up to a universal message that surpasses the boundaries of sound: music becomes prayer, embracing people, building a “bridge of brotherhood” meant to bring together different cultures, languages and religions in search of the common roots of East and West. And East and West are the expressive poles featured in Arvo Pärt’s work, the tormented, brilliant, vibrantly powerful orchestral composition Riccardo Muti has chosen to start on this new “friendship journey”. The concert will continue in the charm and serenity of the garden of Eden, where the voices of Adam and Eve sing to Haydn’s celestial melody, to conclude with the dismaying emotion Man experiences when confronted with God, invoked for mercy with a dramatic eloquence only Verdi’s Te Deum can express.
