Pollença, the festival, is experiencing a time of monographic tributes. It was the case with the Ébène Quartet's dedication to Ludwig van Beethoven. It will be the case with Les Muffati-Brussels Baroque Orchestra's tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach. And it was the case with the Freiburger Barokorchester's performance on Saturday, exclusively featuring pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Three composers who share a common denominator: they are unfathomable. One could dedicate infinite monographic concerts to any of them and they would never cease to be of maximum interest. The one we are concerned with is not an exception, but rather a small, great selection that demonstrates the versatility of someone who made music almost unintentionally. Thus, the chamber orchestra, with twenty-four musicians, conducted by Éva Borhl on violin, began the task with the overture of The gardener's trick, early work, simple, with a lot of rhythm and prioritizing melody, where a gem arises from almost nothing. It was a prelude that in some way became a declaration of principles of what the concert would be, in which, once again, the cloister of Sant Domingo presented an unbeatable appearance, or what is the same, a full house.

"Bach will never grow old. The construction of his works is those ideal geometric figures where everything is in its place and there is never a superfluous line," said Fryderyk Chopin. Sir András Schiff, a luxury of many carats, the protagonist of the second concert of the Pollença Festival, began his talk by saying that Bach was the greatest composer of all time and his favorite. It's not very original, but no one has any other choice. Therefore, a good reason to start his performance with the'Aria of the Goldberg Variations. A measured, delicate, as if weightless reading, which made it clear that, once again, we were the fortunate spectators of a memorable evening, and that, furthermore, we had no idea what was coming next. Sir András doesn't like others writing his programs, which he explains much better with the addition of an enigmatic element. The truth is that two days earlier he had given a concert in Torroella de Montgrí and more or less repeated the composers, but I think he only repeated one of the pieces from our batch. Intermezzo by Brahms and the Bach encore. Let it be clear, therefore, that it is not difficult to predict what we will feel, it is simply impossible.
