Rosamunde – Folk songs and Ländler in Schubert’s music I
Menuhin's Heritage Artist I
Chamber Music
Tuesday, 17 July 2018
7.30 pm, Rougemont Church
The guiding idea behind the new «Menuhin’s Heritage Artists» project is to support particularly promising young artists over an extended period of time and to offer the public the opportunity to watch them blossom over the course of years. Led by violinist Alina Ibragimova (one of Lord Menuhin’s last students), the Chiaroscuro Quartet is one of the first to embody this enterprise. They will open this year’s major chamber music cycle «Folk Songs and Ländler in Schubert’s Music», which will run over eleven concerts until the end of August. The central work of this concert is the sublime «Rosamunde» Quartet, in which melancholy (the first movement shaped around the song «Margaret at the Spinning-Wheel») and elation (the third movement in the form of a Ländler) alternate.
