The Orpheon Foundation wishes to open your eyes and ears to the marvelous world of string instruments of the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Classical Periods. The collection now contains over 200 instruments (viola da gamba, viola d'amore, violin, viola, violoncello, violone, baryton) and historical bows dating mostly from 1560 to 1780, all restored to their original playing conditions and placed at the disposal of members of the Orpheon Orchestra, Orpheon Consort and professional musicians from all over Europe for concerts, recordings, contests and study purposes. Its owner, José Vázquez holds that it is the living acoustical heritage – the sounds that these instruments produce for those living today – that interests us, and not their mere decorative flair as objets trouvés from aristocratic residences of our distant past. We wish to hear what these instruments have to say and we wish to learn from them about the manner of performance of their musical heritage from the Renaissance, the Baroque and the Classical Periods.The instrument maker and the composer have long perished, but their legacy lives on, enriching our lives today as they enriched the lives of many along the way and will continue to enrich the lives of many in generations yet to come.
The exhibition at the Castello di Duino (Trieste) may be visited throughout the year. Please, consult visiting hours: www.castellodiduino.it
