The 15th edition of the International Spring Orchestra Festival (ISOF) will be taking place next month.
Inspired by music from Germany labelled ‘Degenerate’ and banned by the Nazi authorities between 1933 and 1945, the ISOF will host seven concerts over five days in various locations, mainly in Valletta.
International guest artists – including some familiar faces on the local classical music scene – are flying in from all over Europe to join their Maltese counterparts.
“Despite the pandemic-imposed delay, the International Spring Orchestra Festival remains a highlight of Malta’s cultural calendar,” artistic director Karl Fiorini says.
“Year in and out, it attracts fresh blood in the form of music new to Malta that has been regarded for decades as ‘modern repertoire’.”

Hungarian composer and teacher Leo Weiner was a contemporary of Bela Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly. Like his colleagues, he used elements of Hungarian folk music in his work. Where he differed was in his style. Weiner’s music is more conservative, and solidly in the Post-Romantic tradition.
This volume includes an assortment of orchestral works by Weiner. The “Pastroal, phantaisie et fugue” is the most substantial piece on the album. Weiner composed it before he started exploring folk music.
It has an Impressionistic quality to it. Weiner’s use of modes keeps the work’s tonal center from being too strongly defined, giving the work a somewhat dreamy quality even in the fugue.
