4 November 2009. Pavel Karmanov's new composition was played by musicians with profoundly different aesthetic approaches and performance credos. Alexei Utkin's contemporary oboe was heard simultaneously with Paolo Grazzi's historical oboe, and the Hermitage Orchestra performed side by side with Pratum Integrum. The musicians also played separately: the 'traditionalists' presented pieces by Britten and Bruch, the 'authenticists' by Platti and Telemann. One group used the modern musical tuning, others the lower tuning historically correct for 17th- to 18th-century music.
