shy and wild is love // Arditti Quartet, Christina Daletska & Consuelo Guilianelli

In the organizer's words:

asphalt presents a unique gathering of top interpreters of contemporary music: the Arditti Quartet, soprano Christina Daletska and harpist Consuelo Giulianelli perform works by Jonathan Harvey, Zeynep Gedizlioglu, Iannis Xenakis and Heinz Hollinger. The centerpiece of the concert evening is "Chammawet Ahawah", a cantata by Daniel Glaus based on the Hebrew "Shir Hashirim", which brings together the most intimate and poetic love songs of antiquity. The musicians combine artistic mastery and contemporary relevance: The Arditti Quartet enjoys an outstanding reputation worldwide for its
reputation for its lively and nuanced interpretation of contemporary and 20th century compositions. Since its foundation in 1974 by the violinist Irvine Arditti, several hundred works have been composed for the ensemble, and it is regarded as probably the most important string quartet for contemporary music. According to the Swiss Tages-Anzeiger newspaper, Christina
Daletska is a "phenomenal soprano who is able to fill every word with meaning, power and personality". Consuelo Giulianelli was solo harpist with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and is a member of the Ensemble Phoenix Basel, which was awarded the Pro-Europa Prize for contemporary music.
