Piano quartets from Mozart to Bax

Alexander Melnikov is known for eavesdropping on a little more historical »truth« in his interpretations of works – a mission that he undertakes on this concert evening together with violinist Afanasy Chupin, former violist of the Artemis Quartet Volker Jacobsen and cellist Kaori Yamagami.

The programme includes selected individual quartet movements and a rarely heard piano quartet by the English composer Arnold Bax (1883–1953). Starting with Mozart, who still preferred to think in separate sound groups, Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler's beguiling chamber-music solitaire show audibly more varied and individualised vocal treatment and sound direction. Finally, in his piano quartet composed in 1922, Bax combines percussive harshness, harsh dissonances and rugged chord sculptures with impressionistically floating sounds – a discovery!
