Camille Thomas / Boris Kusnezow / Gropius Quartett
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
The Gropius Quartett invites you to a chamber music festival with the world-famous cellist Camille Thomas and Boris Kuznetsov. At the beginning, the Gropius Quartet will perform a quartet by Joseph Haydn, which is not nicknamed »the joke« for nothing. Before the interval, Camille Thomas then plays works by composing cellists, a firework display of romantic melodies and virtuoso music that culminates in Boccherini’s quintet. In this quintet, the artists transport the audience to Madrid at night, while the concert concludes with Dvořák’s Piano Quintet, one of the great masterpieces of chamber music literature.
