Before Dmitri Shostakovich became a composer-critic of the Stalin dictatorship, the music world experienced him as a carefree, talented child prodigy: for example in his first piano trio, which the seventeen-year-old wrote during his studies - a one-movement, grand, racing flight of thought by a genius who had perfected his skills at an early age. Also worth discovering is the piano quintet by the far too unknown Polish romantic composer Juliusz Zarębski, which he dedicated to his teacher Franz Liszt.

Chamber Concert 5

WDR Funkhaus

The fourth chamber music matinee of the 2024/25 season embarks on a voyage of discovery into little-known territory. The expedition is led by Bartosz Zachlod, leader of the second violins and passionate chamber musician. Together with colleagues from the NDR Radio Philharmonic, he presents works from his Polish homeland: Karol Szymanowski's String Quartet No. 1 and the highly romantic piano quintet by Juliusz Zarębski. Rating: absolutely worthwhile!
