Violinist

Elegance, lightness and tonal refinement – this programme captures the unmistakable spirit of French music. Works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy and Ernest Chausson can be heard between subtle melody and dance-like drive – finely orchestrated, full of esprit and sensuality. From the delicate combination of harp and violin to Chausson’s large-scale concerto for violin, piano and string quartet, an evening of French charm and tonal finesse unfolds.

Ideally, they should all work together harmoniously: the wind and string instruments of an orchestra. Sometimes, however, it can also lead to astonishing listening experiences to experience the registers separately. And if works for string orchestra have a long tradition in music history anyway, it is only in keeping with the spirit of the »Camerata concertante« motto that the wind players of the Hamburg Camerata are also allowed to present themselves as a »concertante« ensemble at the end of the season!
