Young blood and old hands
This piano quartet proves that you do not have to belong to the same generation to make superb music together. Pianist Alexandre Kantorow, to whom the Elbphilharmonie is dedicating a special focus this season, has been on a meteoric rise for several years and has already reached major venues by his mid-twenties. Cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière and violist Lawrence Power have used their advanced career of 10 and 25 years respectively for exciting solo projects, chamber music and much more. Young blood is now encountering great experience in the contrasting Piano Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 by Johannes Brahms.
Please note: Daniel Lozakovich unfortunately had to cancel his participation in this concert due to illness. Alexander Sitkovetsky has thankfully stepped in to replace him. The programme remains unchanged and tickets retains their validity.
Brahms’ first two piano quartets were composed at the same time in 1861, when the young composer had moved from Hamburg to Vienna and had fallen in love with Hungarian folk music. Both works culminate in a lively, dance-like finale. The other movements also radiate a great deal of joie de vivre and enthusiasm.
