Between memory and joie de vivre, Kurtág and Tavener combine meditative depth with Mozart's elegance and Schumann's radiant energy – with Isserlis, Várjon and CAMERATA BERN.
Joy and sorrow
As a temporal art form, music is only not a memory in the moment it is heard. And often even then. The composer György Kurtág is a master of musical memory. Many of his pieces bear the addition ‘in memoriam’. With ‘Kroó György in memoriam’, Kurtág commemorates a renowned Hungarian musicologist. Artistic partner Steven Isserlis, in turn, commemorates Kurtág's 100th birthday with this piece for solo violoncello.
John Tavener focuses on the eternity of memory, but also that of a future paradise, with ‘Eternal Memory’ for cello and strings. Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet in E flat major, on the other hand, is powerfully and fully rooted in the here and now. The Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon can be heard here and in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's festively elegant Piano Concerto in C major. A universal musician with exceptional technical and profound musical abilities.
