Kammermusik +: Bartholdy Quintett

In the organizer's words:

In 2009, the year of Mendelssohn, the five prominent musicians decided to form a string quintet at a concert. Since then, the Bartholdy Quintet has delighted audiences with interpretations of the greatest homogeneity and virtuosity. On December 14, 1790, Mozart hosted a chamber music evening to bid farewell to Joseph Haydn, who was leaving for London the following day. The D major quintet played there was to be a final adieu to his friend, as the two never saw each other again. In his only string quintet, Anton Bruckner, who was born 200 years ago, took up Mozart's scoring with two violas, but did not deny the symphonic style in terms of compositional technique and the scale of the movements. Alexander von Zemlinsky's two string quintet movements were very well received at their premiere in 1896. Johannes Brahms was also among the audience.
