Seven Past Seven: Chamber music times five

Jörg Widmann (*1973): 1. Streichquartett (1997)
Franz Schubert (1797–1828): Quintett C-Dur für zwei Violinen, Viola und 2 Violoncelli, D 956 op. post. 163
Camille Saint-Saëns: Quintett für zwei Violinen, Viola und 2 Violoncelli – World Premiere

Schubert’s C Major Quintet is often referred to as a tonal enigma. In fact, it is impossible to explain its combination of unique tonal intensity and auratic enrapturement. Composed as it was in the early Romanticist’s final months, it seems to be opening a door to another form of existence. It is fitting that the profound Latvian star cellist Mischa Maisky will be joining us for this exquisite highlight. A rare moment in the history of chamber music is offered by the premiere of a work by the French late romantic Camille Saint-Saëns in identical instrumentation. Duration approx. 70 minutes, no intermission.
