En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Quintette avec piano en sol mineur, Op.57

Dans Beethoven et Chostakovitch, le Quatuor Modigliani se présente comme une force tranquille, aux qualités sonores et d'écoute peu communes. Beatrice Rana complète à merveille l'ensemble dans le Quintette de Chostakovitch. 

Au sein du week-end de clôture du festival aixois, deux concerts ont joliment mis à l'honneur la jeune génération de la musique de chambre aux côtés de Gil Shaham et Renaud Capuçon.

The Giocoso’s Enescu and Il Giardino Armonico’s Beethoven bookend an exhilarating day of rarities and classics.

A chamber programme of Shostakovich’s private idioms and public masks

Two larger than life piano quintets share star billing on an intense Wigmore Hall programme. 

Varvara y el Cosmos Quartet ofrecen en La Filarmónica un concierto con obras desde Handel a Shostakovich.

Steven Osborne and players from Aurora Orchestra take our emotions in opposite directions at Kings Place.

El Cuarteto Casals junto al pianista Alexei Volodin dejan una interpretación de Shostakovich para el recuerdo.

Like all great quartets, each member contributed their individual voice but, in the combination of all four, they created something extraordinary and compelling.

Mit Schubert, Britten und Schostakowitsch öffnet und schließt das Belcea Quartet auf unterschiedliche Weise Kreise.

Die Pianistin Elisabeth Leonskaja begleitet das Artemis Quartett bei einem großen Kammermusikabend in München.

There was a palpable sense of communion during a performance bringing these great musicians together at Carnegie Hall for the first time. 

Britten and Shostakovich were great friends, so it was appropriate that both composers were represented in the Belcea Quartet's two recitals on the opening weekend of the 70th Aldeburgh Festival. 

Traditional August Bank Holiday weather – steady rain – was reflected in the melancholy programme for this lunchtime Chamber Prom.

Like much of Shostakovich’s work, his popular Piano Quintet, Op. 57 (1940) is full of ambiguity and contradiction. It was written at the request of his friends in the Beethoven Quartet, who had so enjoyed his first string quartet that they asked him to write something new that they could play with him – but this private piece of chamber music was a huge public success.

Each time I hear the Takács Quartet in concert a new excellence comes through: this time it is their gentleness. Schubert’s String Quartet in A minor, “Rosamunde” is allowed to unfold gently, as the petals of a rose open themselves.
