To close your season concerts in Colónhe Mozarteum presented for the second consecutive year to Fauré Quartetta wonderful chamber ensemble of German origin with almost three decades of experience.
For this return to the Teatro Colón, the group offered a program with works for piano quartet by great creators of romanticism. The concert began with a refined version of the Adagio and rondo concertante of Schubertwhich allowed us to appreciate from the beginning the deep understanding and communicative fluidity between the members of the quartet.
The level of rapport between them is absolute, as is the obvious passion, enjoyment and commitment they share in making chamber music.
In the Piano Quartet No. 3 of Brahms, the ensemble masterfully developed the contrasts, from the dramatic intensity of the beginning, the impulsiveness of the Scherzo and the lyricism of the Andante, to the power of the final movement. With a robust and sumptuous sound, the members of the quartet highlighted at all times the transparency of the textures and the clarity in the melodic lines of each of the voices that comprise it.
In the second part the Piano Quartet op.47 by Schumannin a reading full of subtleties, with intense cohesion and exquisite musicality, enhancing all the beauty of the score.
Before the loud applause, the musicians returned to the stage and performed two off-program pieces, announced in Spanish by the violist Sascha Frömbling. There were two transcriptions, made by them, of “The Great Gate of kyiv”, belonging to Pictures at an Exhibition, by Mussorgskyand “Songs that my mother taught me”, by Dvořák.
