Members of the Berlin Philharmonic: Ravel, Debussy & Brahms, Cité de la Musique

Über die Veranstaltung

The gorgeous Brahms Quintet for clarinet and strings, written in 1891, contains echoes of Mozart's quintet for the same combination.

Debussy, whose Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun was written just one year later than the Brahms Quintet, began a project of sonatas during the First World War; the second of the series, for flute, viola, and harp, is a true masterwork of melding timbres.

This evening's soloists are:

    Emmanuel Pahud,  flute
    Paul Meyer,  clarinet
    Marie‐Pierre Langlamet,  harp
    Daishin Kashimoto,  violin
    Maja Avramovic,  violin
    Amihai Grosz,  viola
    Raphaël Pidoux,  cello
