Opera

Musiksalon // Classical music: masterpieces of the twentieth century with Olga Pogorelova, Patrick Koch, Fritjof von Gagern and Asli Kilic

In a program that sheds light on the diversity of Central European modernism in the midst of the crisis-ridden 1930s, four outstanding works come together: Béla Bartók's (1881-1945) "Contrasts", composed during his exile in America in 1939/40, which will also be examined in terms of jazz music on 19.12.; Paul Hindemith's (1895-1963) Quartet for clarinet, violin, cello and piano - composed by the pioneer of New Objectivity in 1938. Hans Gál's (1890-1987) Serenade for violin, violoncello and clarinet op. 93, written in 1935 during the Austrian composer's exile. And John Ireland's (1879-1962) Trio for violoncello, clarinet and piano, whose English impressionism is surprisingly capable of dialog with continental European tonal languages. Bartók's explosive tonal language, Hindemith's clarity and rigor, Gál's warm melodicism and Ireland's subtle harmonies interweave to form a dense mosaic that reveals tradition and awakening, structure and poetry in difficult, unpeaceful times ... By the way: Béla Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 2 is on the program of the 2nd Academy Concert on 17 and 18 November - with concertmaster Olga Pogorelova as soloist.
