Four works - four completely different musical worlds. Two composers from two eras, yet behind these many contrasts there is some pleasant unity. Perhaps it is genius, perhaps the love behind the sounds. In the first half of the concert, entertainment plays the main role. First, Jörg Widmann, who has just left school, proves that the wild pulsation of techno can also be beautiful, and that music based on monotonous foundations can suddenly turn into a complex six-part canon. This is followed by what many consider Mendelssohn's best chamber work, the sometimes playful, sometimes moving, but always extremely melodious mature trio. After the break, contrasts are much more strained against each other, as passing away confronts youth, an orchestral sound replaces the chamber line-up, and this time Mendelssohn becomes the novice and Widmann the mature composer. The latter commemorates the famous pianist Lars Vogt, who died in 2022 at the age of 52, while the former, with his unnumbered piano concerto, is building on classical traditions and is currently establishing his own rank among composers.
