1st Chamber Concert – Romance & Resonance

Description

To open the 1st Chamber Concert, Swiss pianist Oliver Schnyder presents Gabriel Fauré's Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor together with musicians of the argovia philharmonic. As a response to the development of German chamber music, the composer succeeded in creating a piece full of warmth and optimism. Vitality and balance in all voices make the piece a masterpiece of chamber music to this day. Almost half a century later, Ernst von Dohnányi composed the Sextet in C major op. 37 for clarinet, horn, violin, viola, cello, and piano. Above all, the proximity to Brahms is a dominant feature in the form language and style throughout the work. The movements are characterized by different characters – from the sonata in the first movement to the marching adagio of the intermezzo to the finale with clear allusions to jazz. Program:
Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924)
