Wettinger Chamber Concerts 1st Subscription Concert Vienna - Portrait of a City

Description

The music city of Vienna is usually associated with the music of the Viennese Classical period, or at best with the so-called Second Viennese School around Arnold Schoenberg. We do it differently: Zemlinsky was a contemporary of Gustav Mahler and represents something like a musical Viennese Art Nouveau. Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, born Polish, found refuge and a new home in Vienna from the horrors of the 20th century. This is also an important and musically relevant aspect of Vienna. Finally, Antonín Dvořák, as a Czech and Prague native, was part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Concert introduction at 3:15 pm with Edward Rushton PROGRAM Alexander v. Zemlinsky (1871–1942) 3rd String Quartet op. 19 Roman Haubenstock-Ramati (1919–1994) 2nd String Quartet (1977) Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) String Quartet No. 5 in F minor op. 9 PERFORMERS ILYA GRINGOLTS, ANAHIT KURTIKYAN Violins SILVIA SIMIONESCU Viola CLAUDIUS HERRMANN Cello
