Chopin, Mendelssohn at the Salle Gaveau
About the Event
Experience works for by Chopin and Mendelssohn in the beautiful Salle Gaveau in Paris.
Is it known that Frédéric Chopin gave the first public audition of his Concerto in F minor on February 7, 1830… in his parents' living room with a very small string ensemble? Far from the plethoric numbers which prevail nowadays, Chopin's original orchestral accompaniment favoured chamber textures which made possible a fruitful dialogue with the pianoforte. With an impressive virtuosity and above all a musical finesse to be praised without reserve, David Lively and the Cambini Quartet restore an incredible sound world.
