Info for Brahms, Fauré & Schnittke: Piano Quartets
Das 2014 gegründete Berlin Piano Quartet besteht aus Christophe Horák (Violine), Micha Afkham (Viola), Bruno Delepelaire (Violoncello) – drei Streicher der Berliner Philharmoniker – und der französischen Pianistin Kim Barbier. Neben der Erarbeitung von Werken bekannter Komponisten, verbindet die jungen Musiker insbesondere die Leidenschaft für verhältnismäßig selten gespieltes Repertoire für Klavierquartett. So erklärt sich auch die interessante Zusammenstellung ihres ersten Albums: sie kombinieren das Klavierquartett Nr. 1 von Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), das dieser 1862 für sein Debüt als Pianist und Komponist auswählte, mit dem unverkennbar impressionistischen Klavierquartett Nr. 1 von Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) sowie dem zeitgenössischen Klavierquartett in a-Moll von Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998), welches die Bandbreite der Musiker auf bemerkenswerte Weise aufzeigt. Das Berlin Piano Quartet besticht darüber hinaus mit frischem Ansatz und großer Spielfreude.
Berlin Piano Quartet
The members of the Berlin Piano Quartet, three strings from the Berliner Philharmoniker and the French pianist Kim Barbier, were brought together by one thing in particular: A desire to develop the relatively rarely played repertoire for piano quartet. In addition to the well-known compositions by Mozart, Brahms and Schumann – reference works of this genre – , the stated objective of the Berlin Piano Quartet is to make its audience familiar with less well-known works for this formation, such as the works of Alfred Schnittke and Frank Bridge.
The interpretations of the Berlin Piano Quartet are inspired by the orchestral experience with the Berliner Philharmoniker. The musicians take great care to look at the works of the repertoire from a new, unusual perspective. Experimental zest, the search for that special moment, and encounters with great musicians, conductors and composers of our time have a far-reaching influence on the music-making of this ensemble.
