This recital opens with Bach's trio sonatas for violin and harpsichord, highlighting the harpsichord's novel equality. Schubert's C-Major Fantasy for violin and piano, written for Josef Slavík, challenged audiences with its length and free form. Sibelius's Nocturne from "Belshazzar's Feast" follows Leschanah's palace dialogue with the stars. Saint-Saëns's first violin sonata, announced with humor, became a hit. Kroll's "Banjo and Fiddle" captures American folk music and gained popularity through Jascha Heifetz.

In Garmisch, August 1941, Richard Strauss completed his last opera "Capriccio", a one-act opera described as intellectual and witty, a stark contrast to the horrific events of its time. The opera features beautiful music. Bohuslav Martinů, a prolific Czech composer, left behind nearly 100 chamber music works. His String Sextet, composed in Paris in 1932, won the Coolidge Prize. Brahms' String Sextet No. 1, initially conceived as a septet, received widespread acclaim.

Jordi Savall commissioned Arvo Pärt to compose a setting of the Gregorian antiphon "Da pacem Domine" for a peace concert. Completed after the 2004 Madrid bombings, the piece is performed annually in Spain to commemorate the victims. Pärt based the work on the antiphon's melody. The other voices follow Pärt's tintinnabuli style but are treated like a Renaissance motet. "Da pacem Domine" exists in various instrumental settings. Haydn opened concert halls for string quartets, influencing Beethoven who surpassed him with symphonic chamber music. The Armat Quartet performs a work born from the idea of infinite songs. In 1824, Schubert composed his large octet and two major string quartets, including "Death and the Maiden," whose variations movement reflects Matthias Claudius's poem.

The third Hamburg Symphony Chamber Concert invites you on a diverse journey through countries and times. It opens with Handel's "Water Music" overture, adapted for horns. Fauré's "Pavane" follows in a version for four horns, before Bruckner's Andante in D-flat major unites the horn quartet. Johann Michael Haydn takes us back to the 18th century, and compositions by Michael Ranzenberger and Christoph Gottwald for euphonium conclude the concert.

While in Lichtental, a suburb of Baden-Baden, Brahms got the inspiration for the first movement of his Horn Trio during a morning walk. He later showed a friend where the nature sounds sparked this inspiration. Brahms learned to play the horn as a child, and it features prominently in his music, particularly his symphonies, and his mother loved his horn playing. The Horn Trio's Adagio movement, written shortly after his mother's death, is thought to reflect this event. Brahms composed Serenades Op. 11 and 16 while working as a piano teacher in Detmold, during which he also studied Haydn and Mozart. He had initially intended to write a lighter piece, but his evolving symphonic ideas led to richer instrumentation and broader development, as detailed by Max Kalbeck.

Francis Poulenc, the true joker of the French artistic association »Groupe des Six«, created a precious treasure of five works for the woodwinds – the sextet, a trio and a sonata each for flute, clarinet and bassoon. With the sparkling Sextuor for piano and winds, a showpiece for the »musical prose« sought by the »Six«, he thrusts the audience right into the pulsating life of his home city of Paris. The three-movement piece was completed in 1932, but thoroughly revised in 1939 for the performance with Poulenc himself at the piano. At the beginning, it sounds like the Grands Boulevards, everything is noisy, running, honking, shouting and whirling, and the woodwinds are immediately allowed to bring their entire arsenal of modern acrobatics into play. The middle movement is more idyllic, before the fast section suddenly seems to be a fairground hustle and bustle. The work concludes with a hymn-like declaration of love to the metropolis on the Seine.

Shostakovich’s Eighth String Quartet in C minor is one of the composers most personal works. There are striking allusions to Wagner’s »Götterdämmerung« and Tchaikovsky’s confessional symphony »Pathétique«. But Shostakovich also immortalised himself, with themes from earlier works as well as the musical code D-Es-C-H. The piece was composed in 1960 during a visit to Dresden, which was destroyed in 1945. The horrors of the destruction shocked Shostakovich so much that he dedicated the quartet to the victims of war and fascism.
