Alon Sariel & Lise Vandersmissen - Vintage Vienna

Mandolinevirtuoos Alon Sariel and harpist Lise Vandersmissen take you to the Vienna of yesteryear: vibrant, melancholic, and full of music. Think of velvet salon chairs, perfumed evenings, a touch of drama, and above all, a lot of beauty. On two of the most beloved salon instruments of that time, they perform music by big names, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, and Wagner. The program consists of sparkling highlights and intimate solos, including Mozart’s Rondo, Schuberts Ave Maria and Liszts Un Sospiro. The duo creates a refined and warm sound palette and celebrates both the lost world of salon soirées and the legendary attitude to life of Vienna: intense, carefree, and full of charm. Alon Sariel belongs to the most versatile mandolin players in the world, with more than a thousand concerts in 35 countries and innovative projects such as Plucked Bach. Lise Vandersmissen has won international prizes and combines modern and historical harps in an expressive, virtuoso performance. Program: W.A. Mozart – Rondo in C, K. 485 (arr. Carlo Munier) L. van Beethoven – Sonatina in C minor & C major F. Schubert – Ave Maria; Ständchen; Der Leiermann; Moment musical F. Liszt – Un Sospiro (solo harp) R. Wagner – Albumblatt T.
