Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Streichquartett Nr. 8 in e-Moll "Razumovsky", Op.59 Nr.2

Was für ein Auftakt im Pierre Boulez Saal!

Das Cuarteto Casals besticht mit instrumentellem Drama und musikantischem Temperament.

Das Allegretto quasi Allegro war sehr rasch, virtuos, aber nicht geschliffen oder poliert, sondern wild und extrem engagiert, nicht einfach fröhlich, eher launisch-verzweifelt: das Prestissimo bravourös, wie „um das Leben gespielt“.

Während draußen der Winter Einzug gehalten und München mit einer weißen Zuckerschicht bedeckt hatte, waren am Sonntagabend des 17. Januar eingefleischte Kammermusikfans aus München und Umgebung ins elegante Prinzregententheater gekommen, um einen kammermusikalischen Leckerbissen zu genießen.

In the first leg of a chronological traversal of the string quartet repertoire, the Emersons were on top form.

Overall, the performance kept a wonderful equilibrium between color and structure, humor and tragic sentiment, self-confidence and doubt.

Le Belcea Quartet donnait le premier de ses six concerts consacrés à Beethoven au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. L'événement s'annonçait exceptionnel ; la réalisation a dépassé ces attentes.

A disappointing outing for the Emerson String Quartet in the first Sydney concert of their eight-city tour of Australia.

Three young string quartets competing for first prize at the the13th Banff International String Quartet Competition played so well that they took the jurors into double overtime.

The Aurora Orchestra and Collon engage audiences new and old with infectiously joyful Mozart and intensely virtuosic Adès, with Pekka Kuusisto.

Quartet Dudok perform life-affirming Mozart while Apollon Musagète Quartet give an effective rendition of Panufnik. Quatuor Danel deliver a tour de force of Beethoven's “Razumovsky” String Quartet no. 2.

Ébène Quartet’s musical ebb and flow brings to mind Proust’s words to Fauré, that he was “intoxicated by his music”.  

Beethoven aurait-il eu autant de génie sans le talent du Quatuor Ebène ?

Un violoncelle qui domine la scène du haut d'une estrade, le reste du quatuor jouant debout, le diable au corps, des tablettes tactiles qui remplacent les partitions : le Cuarteto Casals ne fait rien comme les autres. Mais leurs interprétations de Schubert, Beethoven et Chostakovitch ouvrent, par leur humanité, sur des profondeurs plus secrètes des trois compositeurs.

From across the centuries, the quartets of Beethoven and Shostakovich have come to be regarded as the twin pillars of the quartet repertoire. Think of them as the New Testament and the Old Testament. The Pacifica Quartet offered a program that sandwiched Shostakovich with a pair of quartets by Beethoven.The String Quartet No.

A place of pilgrimage for centuries, St. Mary's Church, Whitekirk, overlooks fields – blonde and cropped at this time of year. The acoustic in this concert was, for me, the Lammermuir Festival's most magical match of medium and venue. The Navarra Quartet resonated richly, without in any way compromising clarity.
