Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Streichquartett Nr. 2 C-Dur, Op. 36

Zwei kontrastreiche und mitreißende Quartett-Programme boten die Salzburger Festspiele im Mozarteum direkt hintereinander: das Leonkoro Quartet mit Haydn, Britten und Brahms und ein französisches Klavierquartett mit Klarinette bei Messiaens Quatuor pour la fin du temps.

Le lendemain de l'annonce du décès du célèbre ancien premier violon du Quatuor Alban Berg, ses quatre disciples et amis ont proposé une vraie leçon de musique de chambre.

Muy notable resultado donde la vitalidad nunca se encuentra desbocada sino estructurada a partir de la búsqueda de un sonido siempre cuidado.

Stars du week-end d'ouverture de la Biennale de quatuors à cordes de la Philharmonie de Paris, les deux formations se sont illustrées séparément et ensemble dans deux concerts qui resteront dans l'histoire de la manifestation.

Au Festival de Quatuors du Luberon, l'ensemble constitué de quatre musiciens de différents pays d'Europe a livré une interprétation inégale d'un programme qui allait de Roland de Lassus à Benjamin Britten.

The program was annotated by the actor Sagine Valla, delivering lines from the composer's published letters, diaries and other texts. It grew intrusive at times, but when given a chance, the ensemble played beautifully.

Six concerts of Suffolk’s finest home-grown produce garnished with side orders of Mozart, Copland and Elgar.

The Czech Pavel Haas Quartet bring their distinctive sound and selfless musicianship to Birmingham, in the first of three concerts featuring Matthew Hunt in Brahms's Clarinet Quintet alongside twentieth century quartets.

In commemoration of Britten’s centennial, the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical, in collaboration with the British Council programmed a series entitled “Britten Classics”. This concert was a highlight.

The sun is out and the musical migration has begun. Many metropolis music venues decide practically to shut up shop for the summer, and the concert junkie needs to uproot and search out top classical music at one of the summer festivals that spring up seasonally.

The Scottish Ensemble’s tagline, “re-defining the string orchestra” could, in this particular programme, have justified the additional claim “re-defining the quartet”. The only work in this imaginatively conceived, four-item programme not written for quartet (or double quartet) was the opening Musical Postcard no. 4 by the young British composer Martin Suckling.

People want to be in love and to live forever. That is not how things work out. Haydn explores this contradiction in his string quartets. What makes each quartet different is how Haydn resolves musically the way things do work out.
