An evening as if from another century: In the tradition of historical salons, a programme full of subtle contrasts and tonal finesse unfolds. Mozart’s late String Quintet in D major surprises with its harmonic richness and mysterious tone, before Schubert and Liszt look eastwards – to Hungarian melodies, wistful romances and dance-like elegance. In the second part, Liszt’s poetic miniatures and a rare version of Chopin’s F minor Concerto take centre stage – in the original chamber music version for piano and string quintet as it was once performed in the Parisian salons. A delight for connoisseurs – and a feast for everyone’s ears.
