Musiksalon // Classical music: colorful ensemble works of the 20th century

If you feel like immersing yourself in the optimism and joy of experimentation of the 20th century right at the start of the second half of the season, then this program is just right for you. Four composers, four manuscripts - and instrument combinations that you don't hear every day. Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) opens the evening with a quartet that brings clarinet, horn, cello and a snare drum into a surprising conversation. Leoš Janáček (1854-1928) contributes memories of his own youth with his suite "Mládi" - colorful, airy, sometimes mischievous. Then Martinů again, this time with a large ensemble: his nonet, a sophisticated mesh of nine voices that support, tease and drive each other. Finally, Nino Rota (1911-1979). Yes, the one with the film scores - but here he shows how much charm and inventiveness he also possesses beyond the silver screen. His nonet combines Italian melodicism with chamber music precision and has a lightness that is almost outrageous. Four very different perspectives on a turbulent century - and an evening that shows just how much freedom chamber music can have. This content has been machine translated.
