CAMERATA BERN - Joy and sorrow
As a temporal art, music is only not a memory at the moment it is heard. And often even then. The composer György Kurtág is a master of musical remembrance. Many of his pieces bear the addition "in memoriam". With Kroó György in memoriam, Kurtág remembers a renowned Hungarian musicologist. Artistic partner Steven Isserlis in turn commemorates Kurtág's 100th birthday with this piece for solo cello.
With Eternal Memory for cello and strings, John Tavener focuses on the eternity of memory, but also that of a future paradise. In contrast, Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet in E flat major is powerful and fully rooted in the here and now. The Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon can be heard here as well as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's festively elegant Piano Concerto in C major. A universal musician with exceptional technical and profound musical abilities.
