Tchaikovsky and Penderecki: Concertgebouw Amsterdam

演出简介

For the first time in the Concertgebouw: the phenomenal Meccore Quartet. Besides Tchaikovsky you can hear Penderecki and Szymanowski.The best Polish string quartet ever', wrote Algemeen Dagblad about the Meccore Quartet. Today the four of them will perform for the first time in the Concertgebouw. They start their concert with the Second String Quartet by Szymanowski. A composer who 'blossoms in their hands', according to Klassik Heute. The Meccore Quartet also chooses Tchaikovsky and Penderecki. In his First String Quartet Tchaikovsky quotes a Ukrainian national anthem. This is where a farmer sits daydreaming about love. A golden grasp: the work immediately became popular. Even with the great writer Tolstoy, who sat in the concert hall next to Tchaikovsky crying. Never before have I felt so flattered and proud', according to the composer. The Meccore Quartet will perform Penderecki's Third String Quartet, with the subtitle 'Leaves of an unwritten diary'. Penderecki celebrated his 75th birthday with this and incorporated all kinds of contrasting (musical) memories into the quartet. From a busy waltz to a gypsy melody that his father always played.
