Quartet Quatuor Ébène, Amihai Grosz and Nicolas Altstaedt

Wed, Dec 11, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Quatuor Ébène (String Quartet), Pierre Colombet (Violin), Gabriel Le Magadure (Violin), Marie Chilemme (Viola), Yuya Okamoto (Cello), Amihai Grosz (Viola), Nicolas Altstaedt (Cello)
Its perfect fusion of precision with spontaneity has made the Quatuor Ébène one of the world's leading string quartets. Together with solo violist of the Berliner Philharmoniker Amihai Grosz and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt – the ensemble presents Peter Tchaikovsky's string sextet “Souvenir de Florence”. Despite the chamber music instrumentation, the composer created a work of almost symphonic dimensions that ingeniously combines Russian drama with Italian grace. The programme opens with a string quartet by Joseph Haydn and highly virtuosic divertimenti by Benjamin Britten.

Edward Gardner & Nicolas Altstaedt

Fri, Oct 25, 2024, 20:00
Herkulessaal (München)
Edward Gardner (Conductor), Nicolas Altstaedt (Cello), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
A spectacular four-minute opening: Oliver Knussen’s Flourish With Fireworks is a resounding homage to Stravinsky and intentionally alludes to his brilliant orchestral showpiece Feu d’artifice. The new, kaleidoscopic Cello Concerto by the Australian-Chinese composer Liza Lim was written for Nicolas Altstaedt’s virtuosic abilities. In the furious Three Screaming Popes, the British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage was inspired by Francis Bacon’s disturbing portraits of popes, and embeds Spanish dances into the musical texture in such a way that a hint of tango remains recognizable here and there. Edward Gardner concludes this multifaceted program with the unfinished Cleveland Pictures, in which the famous collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art is musically depicted, with paintings ranging from Rodin and Fabergé to Goya and Turner serving as sources of inspiration.

String quartets by Schumann and Rihm

Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Simon Roturier (Violin), Angelo de Leo (Violin), Micha Afkham (Viola), Solène Kermarrec (Cello)
Whether in the 19th or 20th century: The string quartet is the supreme genre of chamber music, and every composer must consider it. Robert Schumann’s quartet cycle op. 41 is a stroke of genius; members of the Berliner Philharmoniker play numbers 1 and 3. Inspired by the quartets of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, Schumann created his own musical cosmos, full of poetry and instrumental song. Our late Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, on the other hand, favours contrasts in his Fourth String Quartet. On the one hand, his work appears brusque, passionate and effervescent; on the other, tender, intimate and poetic.

Sibelius and Schumann

Thu, May 8, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Maxim Vengerov (Violin)
Sibelius' Violin Concerto is one of the most performed violin concertos of the 20th century. However, its tonal language belongs to the late 19th century, and the music is warm and lyrical, dramatic and melancholic. Sibelius, himself a violinist, possibly wrote the concerto he himself would have wanted to play – albeit on a technical level far beyond his own. It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.Taking on the challenge is the Russian-born Israeli violinist Maxim Vengerov, one of the greats of our time, who has only performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra once before, and that was 30 years ago! He is ranked among the world's finest, and in addition to performing concerts on the major classical stages, he is a guest professor at both the International Menuhin Music Academy in Switzerland and the Royal College of Music in London.Full of inspiration, Robert Schumann began work on his second symphony in early December 1845. However, his depressions, poor health, and constant tinnitus meant that it wasn't until the following autumn that the symphony was completed. Yet, his severe personal condition has not left its mark on the music at all; instead, the symphony is bright and forward-looking: a resounding triumph over the darker aspects of life.The concert begins with the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's hypnotically evocative Ciel d’hiver, Winter Sky – an arrangement of a part of her orchestral work Orion. The music is inspired by the Greek myth of the hunter Orion, who was transformed into a constellation. Saariaho's music possesses a strange beauty that makes her unique, and she is considered one of the most significant composers of our time. Saariaho passed away in 2023, and ten years earlier, she was awarded the Polar Music Prize.Learn more about Chief Conductor Ryan Bancroft

Schumann Quartet plays Mozart, Beethoven and Prokofiev

Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Schumann Quartett (String Quartet), Erik Schumann (Violin), Ken Schumann (Violin), Veit Hertenstein (Viola), Mark Schumann (Cello), Susanne Stähr (Referentin)
From a young age, the brothers Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann were deeply absorbed by the subtleties of chamber music. Then, when they were joined by violist Veit Hertenstein, the Schumann Quartet launched an international career, garnering the highest praise for their “dazzling virtuosity” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). For their debut in our series, the quartet has chosen Mozart’s galant A major Quartet and the dark First Quartet by Prokofiev, influenced by Beethoven’s quartets. These will also be represented by the Op. 127 quartet, from Beethoven’s audacious late period.
