At our espresso concerts in the early afternoon, we serve two kinds of caffeine - in cups and, of course, musically: outstanding young musicians present surprise programs that really wake you up - in this case on the podium of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and as a viola soloist!
Chamber music by an overlooked Hungarian composer, Ernő Dohnányi, whose romantic style contrasted with contemporaries Bartók and Kodály. His inventive Piano Quintet and Sextet, alongside Carl Reinecke's uniquely scored Trio, are discoveries. Dohnányi, a celebrated pianist and conductor, composed with a Brahmsian influence, though his later Sextet expands beyond, reflecting the broad stylistic landscape of the 1930s. Concert duration: ~110 minutes (including intermission).
