Kammermusik eines bis heute verkannten Ungarn. Anders als Bartók und Kodály blieb Dohnányi zeitlebens der Romantik verbunden. Sein klangvolles Klavierquintett und sein Sextett bestechen durch ihre Erfindungskraft. Sie sind eine Entdeckung, so wie das apart besetzte Trio des deutschen Romantikers Reinecke. Dohnanyi war Pianist, Dirigent und Komponist und wurde in jungen Jahren als gefeierter Solist mit Franz Liszt verglichen. Für Klavierkammermusik hatte er daher eine besonders glückliche Hand, wie man in diesem Konzert erleben kann. Als Komponist sah sich Dohnanyi ganz in der Brahms-Nachfolge. Sein spätes Sextett indes weist über die Brahms-Welt hinaus und erfreut sich zugleich an dem weiten Stilpanorama der 1930er Jahre

Klavier-Romantik

Bertramstraße 8

Chamber music by a Hungarian composer who remains underappreciated to this day. Unlike Bartók and Kodály, Dohnányi remained committed to Romanticism throughout his life. His sonorous Piano Quintet and Sextet captivate with their inventiveness. They are a discovery, as is the uniquely scored Trio by the German Romantic composer Reinecke. Dohnányi was a pianist, conductor, and composer, and in his youth, as a celebrated soloist, he was compared to Franz Liszt. He therefore had a particularly fortunate touch when it came to piano chamber music, as can be experienced in this concert. As a composer, Dohnányi saw himself firmly in the tradition of Brahms. His late Sextet, however, transcends the world of Brahms and simultaneously revels in the broad stylistic panorama of the 1930s.

Beethoven's grew out of a trio in his later years, Bruch's was a late work and long lost - both quintets have a special maturity, musical essence from many years. They immediately captivate you, just like the mastery of Haydn's quartet. Beethoven's model for his string quintet was a bold youthful work with an impetuous character, which he transformed as an established master, while Bruch, at the age of eighty, once again formulated his traditional credo in his quintet. Looking back, he also quotes himself - as a reminiscence and self-assurance of his own past.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra (hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt) returns to the Wettenberg Winter Concerts with its chamber music program. This time, they present two masterful string quintets. Beethoven's quintet grew out of a trio in his later years, while Bruch's was a late work and long thought lost – both quintets possess a special maturity, a musical essence spanning many years. They immediately captivate the listener, as does the masterful Haydn Quartet.

A creative frenzy usually produces something extraordinary. Whether it's Webern's late romantic-early piano quintet, Weinberg's rich string quartet treasure or Schumann's groundbreaking, enthusiastic piano quintet - all three works in this program were created in a frenzy and will captivate and enchant you. Anton Webern's piano quintet still exudes the romantic air of Brahms in his pursuit of the new, Mieczysław Weinberg's diverse, fascinating music is only just being discovered, while Schumann's piano quintet has always been considered a chamber music highlight.
