Kammermusik Luzern: Danish String Quartet

Description

With Carrot Revolution, Gabriella Smith celebrates the spirit of fresh observation: an encouragement to new perspectives on old things, such as the string quartet, this approximately 250-year-old genre. The Danish String Quartet, which has now almost cult status, also radiates a real sonic revolution with its expressiveness, joy of playing, and stylistic diversity. It is also worth discovering a vivid, expressive spectrum in Shostakovich's music before Ravel's sound world transitions into refined restraint and playfully delicate lightness. An extraordinary quartet with an extraordinary program. The Matthäus Church also opens new perspectives: its large space lets the sound breathe and gives it a special spaciousness.
