program
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756-1791
String Quartet No. 2 in D major, KV 155
Bernard Herrmann 1911-1975
Clarinet Quintet "Souvenirs de Voyage" *
Carl Maria von Weber 1786-1826
Clarinet Quintet in B-flat major, Op. 34
* If you are unfamiliar with Bernard Herrmann: His work is a wonderful, intimate chamber music piece, imbued with melancholy and deep nostalgia. The music is imbued with a delicate, impressionistic flair reminiscent of the spirit of Claude Debussy. A Google search will lead you to his famous film score for the movie "Psycho" by Anthony Hitchcock. However, this clarinet quintet is not in that style, but rather, as described above, lyrical and very sensitive.
Concert without intermission. Program subject to change.
We celebrate – thanks to you, dear audience. 20 years of "klang" – a tradition that moves, connects, and endures.
Three compositions, three musical worlds: Mozart's early String Quartet KV 155 captivates with youthful freshness, clarity, and joy of playing. Bernard Herrmann's "Souvenirs de Voyage" transports you to atmospheric soundscapes, combining chamber music finesse with cinematic expressiveness. Finally, Weber's Clarinet Quintet delights with virtuosic brilliance, melodic richness, and romantic warmth. A diverse program spanning classical music, visual language, and romanticism.
