In her concert at the Croatian Home Split, one of the most sought-after Croatian concert soloists, cellist Monika Leskovar, chooses a diverse program and collaborates with another prominent cellist, Branimir Pustički, and the Zadar Chamber Orchestra. Hugo Wolf's Italian Serenade and Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite, two classics of the string orchestra repertoire, frame the journey from the Baroque to Romanticism with a warm and nostalgic touch, all the way to an excursion into the 21st century.

 

The Concerto for Two Cellos is a rare gem that is seldom heard on domestic concert stages, with a strong dramatic potential that Vivaldi draws from the dark colors of the two deep solo strings. Also, for two cellos and strings is the composition "Violloncelles, Vibrez!" by one of the most recognizable contemporary composers, Giovanni Sollima, whose works are characterized by strong expressiveness and player appeal. The first of Haydn's five cello concertos, in C major, is one of the true masterpieces of its creator, filled with a variety of early, pre-classical concerto forms and freshness and richness of thematic material, which are shared and exchanged between the soloist and the orchestra in a gallant play and a series of virtuosic passages.
