Brahms im Sextett

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is a regular guest at the Arolsen Palace Concerts. This time, musicians will present Brahms' two string sextets. These masterpieces helped the young Brahms achieve his musical breakthrough. Despite later dismissing them as "long, sentimental pieces," they captivate audiences with their irresistible sound and melodic beauty.

Brahms im Sextett

Die Streichsextette von Johannes Brahms gehören zu den Meisterwerken der Streicher-Literatur. Neben dem »Deutschen Requiem« sind sie es, die dem jungen Brahms einst den musikalischen Durchbruch brachten. Auch wenn er sie selbst in späteren Jahren als »lange, sentimentale Stücke« geringschätzte, faszinieren sie in ihrem unwiderstehlichen Klangreiz und ihrer melodischen Schönheit noch heute – und man darf und sollte sie auf keinen Fall verpassen.Konzertdauer: ca. 105 Minuten – inklusive Pause

Brahms im Sextett

In Wächtersbach ist das hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt mit seinen Kammerkonzerten erstmals zu Gast. Zur Premiere wird dabei ganz große Kammermusik von Brahms präsentiert. Sein B-Dur-Streichsextett und sein G-Dur-Streichsextett gehören zu den Meisterwerken der Streicher-Kammermusik. Neben dem »Deutschen Requiem« waren sie es letztlich, die dem jungen Brahms zu seinem musikalischen Durchbruch verhalfen. Auch wenn er sie selbst später als »lange, sentimentale Stücke« geringschätzte, faszinieren sie bis heute durch ihren unwiderstehlichen Klangreiz und ihre melodische Schönheit.

Brahms im Sextett

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is a regular guest in Alsfeld with its chamber concerts. This time, musicians from the orchestra will present Johannes Brahms' two string sextets. The String Sextet in B flat major, Op. 18, and the String Sextet in G major, Op. 36, are among the masterpieces of string chamber music. Alongside the "German Requiem", they ultimately helped the young Brahms achieve his musical breakthrough. Even though he later dismissed them as "long, sentimental pieces," they continue to fascinate with their irresistible tonal appeal and melodic beauty.

Janine Jansen spielt Brahms

Award-winning pianist Denis Kozhukhin and Dutch violinist Janine Jansen team up to perform Romantic works. Jansen, praised by The Times for her ability to revitalize repertoire pieces, feels connected to every piece she plays. The successful Jansen-Kozhukhin duo creates music with existential depth and emotional tension, making their performances unforgettable.

Tetzlaff Quartett plays Beethoven, Widmann and Brahms

In addition to his career as a celebrated soloist, violinist Christian Tetzlaff performs all over the world with his own string quartet. This guest performance in the Chamber Music Hall opens with Beethoven's late, expressive String Quartet op. 131, the beginning of which Richard Wagner called “probably the most melancholy thing that has ever been expressed in sound”. In his “Choral Quartet”, Jörg Widmann expresses “sounds and phases of futility that come from nowhere and lead nowhere,” he says. The programme concludes with Johannes Brahms' Second Quartet, which steers a lush course between melancholy and joie de vivre.
