Info for Strauss & Mahler - Piano Quartets & Lieder
Die Sopranistin Simon Kermes hat mit ihren CDs mit unbekannten Komponisten des Barock die deutschen Klassik-Charts und mit ihrer virtuosen Stimne und unnachahmlichen Bühnenpräsenz die deutschen Bühnen erobert. Auf der neuen CD des Fauré Quartetts begibt sie sich mit diesem renommierten Ensemble in für sie neue Gefilde: zu den wunderschönen Liedern Richard Strauss' und Gustav Mahlers. Diese wurden für die Aufnahme von Dietrich Zöllner neu arrangiert, denn Simone Kermes nimmt die Lieder mit dem Fauré-Klavierquartett als musikalischen Partner auf. So klingen die Strauss-Lieder "Die Nacht", "Allerseelen", "Cäcilie", "Heimliche Aufforderung", "Der Morgen" sowie Mahlers "Erinnerung" und "Wo die schönen Trompeten blasen" vertraut und doch neu und spannend. Das Fauré Quartett ist auf dem Album mit zwei weiteren interessanten Werken zu hören: dem 1883/84 entstandenen Klavierquartett c-Moll op. 13 von Richard Strauss und dem um 1894 entstandenen, Fragment gebliebenen Klavierquartett in a-Moll von Gustav Mahler. Das Fauré Quartett gilt als eines der besten Klavierquartette der Welt.
