A string quintet with two cellos? Schubert! A string octet? Mendelssohn! A piano quintet with four winds? Beethoven or Mozart? Yet there is no standard this time: The chamber music season opens with three works of Russian Romanticism, and they show us that Russia is culturally a part of Europe in spite of the current regime's imperialism.

Ever­y­thing But Stan­dard

Nuremberg State Theater

Mendelssohn is still considered an outstanding musical prodigy today. One of his youthful masterpieces is his first string quintet, which he composed at the age of 15. A late work, however, is Bartók's trio "Contrasts". The piece is inspired by melodies from Bartók's homeland of Hungary - sounds that were familiar to him since childhood. Reger's clarinet quintet was his last composition. Homages to his great role models Mozart and Brahms can be heard as well as Reger's mature and masterful harmony.
