Amaryllis Quartett / Lena Eckels
Beethoven / Holliger / Brahms
Happy Birthday!
The Amaryllis Quartet celebrates its 20th anniversary and in its programme concept refers to Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the most important string quartet composers. At the same time, the new series of CD releases with works by Beethoven and classical modernism will be presented. What has been particularly important for the quartet in 20 years? Contemporary music. For this reason, the first performance of a commissioned composition is planned again. The programme will conclude with Johannes Brahms’ late work, the String Quintet in G major with two violas. A jubilant and exuberant work that seems detached from all earthly complaints. Lena Eckels, who was a member of the Amaryllis Quartet for ten years, will be playing the second viola again as a guest. There couldn’t be a more fitting line-up for the anniversary.
