Vadim Gluzman partners with Festival musicians to bring you two jewels of the chamber repertoire. Igor Stravinsky’s Suite Italienne is an arrangement for violin and piano of the composer’s score for the hugely successful ballet Pucinella. Tchaikovsky’s only string sextet, Souvenir de Florence, owes its name to a lovely melody he thought of while in Florence working on something else. And that’s as Italian as this (very Russian) piece gets!
