Painting in tones – that has always been one of the specialties of French music. Claude Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" is probably the best-known example: the heat shimmers, the sun blazes, and erotic fantasies wander. But "Spring Morning" by Lili Boulanger, who died young, also conjures up colourful images before our inner eyes. It is hard to believe that such a light-flooded, life-loving piece was written when the highly talented composer was already struggling with death.

6th Symphony Concert

Haus der Kunst

Theater Nordhausen

What a variety of expressive possibilities lies in the instrumentation of this chamber concert! Folkloristic tones, sometimes playful and exuberant, sometimes thoughtful, are conjured up by Aram Chatschaturian's piano trio. In contrast, the duo for violin and cello, with which Maurice Ravel created a monument to his late colleague Claude Debussy, is of gripping intensity and a masterpiece that is far too little known. Brahms' clarinet quintet, one of his last compositions, provides the melancholy conclusion.

4. Kammerkonzert

Bankettsaal

Kunsthaus Meyenburg

There is rarely so much greatness in a small piece in a single work. Schubert's Octet for three wind instruments and five strings is both chamber and orchestral music, it is a cheerful serenade and symphonic seriousness, it presents eight individuals as a close-knit community. With this work, Schubert wanted nothing less than to "pave the way to the great symphony" after a serious illness, and he succeeded in doing so in a fascinating way, relaxed and highly concentrated at the same time. Almost 60 minutes of pure musical enjoyment - that is his Octet. The violinist Annegret Klenke leads the work as a guest, the primaria of the multi-award-winning Klenke Quartet, which was founded in Weimar in 1991.
