Stirring rhythms, whimsical melodies and unexpected twists. The Alma Quartet shows how surprisingly Haydn, Brahms and Bartók composed for the string quartet. The thread running through the program is the close connection these composers had with Hungarian folk music. Haydn imitated the playing style of the Roma in the finale of his so-called 'Quint' quartet. Brahms also immortalized the compelling gypsy melodies in many of his pieces. And Bartók? He traveled the countryside with his phonograph in search of the authentic folk music of the Hungarian peasants, which he incorporated into his compositions. The robust rhythms and unpolished melodies caused his famous Fourth String Quartet to shock

As an opera composer, Reinhard Keiser knew exactly how to touch his audience. And his music still does. With his Brockes-Passion, Keiser was a real trendsetter, because greats like Telemann and Handel followed his example. Even Bach performed Keiser's passion piece in Leipzig. The secret? The music sparkles and sparks, there are strong emotions, great contrasts and lively dialogues. In short, a performance that will not leave you cold. With Keiser's Brockes-Passion, the Apollo Ensemble continues the Passion tradition in the Edesche Concertzaal, allowing you to experience the Passion in an intense way.

Travel with us from Schubert's romantic Vienna to the sun-drenched Italy of Morricone and Nino Rota. During the first part of the program, master guitarists Izhar Elias and Fernando Cordas unravel Schubert's enigmatic last piano sonata in a version for two guitars. For the second part of the program, Fernando and Izhar perform the most beautiful gems and virtuosic hits from Italian stage and film history. Enjoy a spectacular opera overture by Donizetti, well-known melodies by Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, and works by Italian film composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco

The members of Musica Amphion and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century are not only excellent orchestral musicians, but also outstanding soloists. In both roles they come into their own in the solo concertos of Bach and Vivaldi. Listen to the fine fleur of both ensembles in Bach's moving Concerto for Violin, Oboe and Strings, among others. Sometimes the two instruments sound intimately entwined, then violin and oboe show their most virtuoso side. Even more challenging is Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in E, BWV 1053. In the 'Finale' the soloist is not given a beat of rest. A real bravura piece that provides a great release.
