Heath Quartet, Carolyn Sampson: Haydn, Schoenberg and Widmann

イベント情報

Explore the possibilities of repertoire for string quartet at the Palau de la Musica. The renowned Heath Quartet, particularly sought after for their interpretations of contemporary works, are joined by soprano Carolyn Sampson for Jörg Widmann's Quartet No. 5, 'Experiment on a Fugue' .

Including a soprano voice in a string quartet, Widmann follows in the steps of Arnold Schoenberg, whose Second Quartet also features in this program. Equally revolutionary in their time, Haydn's Opus 20. Quartets, of which No. 5 is played here, profoundly changed the form and function of the genre, and their echoes can be heard in string quartet composition until the present day.
