Cuartetos en otoño

Entre el 22 de septiembre y el 27 de noviembre, Andalucía Clásica cierra en el Espacio Turina su ciclo de conciertos de 2019 con tres cuartetos, un pianista y cuatro grandes compositores en programa

La segunda temporada de conciertos de la Asociación Andalucía Clásica culmina durante el próximo trimestre con las cuatro citas previstas que completan a las cuatro que se celebraron entre enero y abril pasados. El ciclo, que se desarrolla en el Espacio Turina de Sevilla (20:30, salvo que se indique lo contrario), ha girado en torno a monográficos dedicados a grandes compositores. Si en la primera mitad del año, estos fueron Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven y Chopin, en adelante los convocados serán, por este orden, Haydn, Shostakóvich, Bach y Brahms.

En sus dos temporadas, Andalucía Clásica ha devuelto a Sevilla las visitas de los cuartetos de cuerda internacionales, que habían desaparecido prácticamente de la programación musical de la ciudad desde el abrupto final del extraordinario ciclo de música de cámara de la Fundación Cajasol hace casi una década. Tres de los cuatro conciertos que restan por celebrarse estarán protagonizados por otros tantos cuartetos, que presentarán algunas de las más trascendentes obras del género.

Arranca un conjunto de larga trayectoria, el Cuarteto St. Lawrence, fundado en Toronto en 1989. El grupo canadiense comparece el domingo 22 de septiembre para ofrecer la integral de los seis Cuartetos Op.20 de Joseph Haydn, que acaba de publicar en grabación del sello eaSonus. Su actuación se dividirá en dos partes: a las 12 del mediodía ofrecerá los cuartetos nos. 6 y 3 y a las 17 horas, los cuatro restantes de la serie. La Op.20 de Haydn es una de las colecciones más importantes de la historia del cuarteto de cuerda. Fechados en 1772, en plena efervescencia de su período Sturm und Drang, con estas seis obras el compositor austriaco dio un salto adelante en la escritura de cuartetos. Son obras de carácter  experimental, que tratan de integrar en forma camerística coherente una gran diversidad de elementos, incluido el contrapunto, pues tres de las piezas (cuartetos 2, 5 y 6) culminan con sendas fugas, rasgo insólito en aquel momento.

El segundo cuarteto en comparecer es el Danel. Se trata de un grupo francés también veterano, ya que fundado en 1991, y que se ha caracterizado tradicionalmente por la defensa de un repertorio relativamente marginal. En sus decenas de grabaciones discográficas figuran muchos autores contemporáneos y rescates de enorme significación, como el de Mieczysław Weinberg, cuya excepcional y casi desconocida integral cuartetística registraron para el sello CPO. A la Sala Turina llegan el martes 22 de octubre con un monográfico dedicado a quien fuera gran amigo de Weinberg, Dmitri Shostakóvich, uno de los más importantes autores de cuartetos de la historia, cuya integral el Danel ha registrado también (sello Alpha). En los atriles del Danel reposarán los Cuartetos 1 (1938), 8 (1960) y 10 (1964) del compositor ruso. El elegíaco y autobiográfico Cuarteto nº8 es una de sus obras más difundidas.

Cierra un conjunto joven, pero ya multipremiado, el Cuarteto Castalian, creado en 2011 y que ha debutado en muchas de las principales salas de conciertos del mundo y mantiene una presencia constante en los ciclos del Wigmore Hall londinense. A Sevilla llegan el miércoles 27 de noviembre con un programa dedicado a Brahms, que incluye su Cuarteto Op.51 nº2, de 1873, y el Quinteto Op.111, de 1890, para el que contarán con la colaboración del joven madrileño Pablo Hernán Benedí, que tocará la segunda viola requerida en la obra.

El 1 de noviembre es la fecha reservada para el concierto del pianista suizo-francés Cédric Pescia (Lausana, 1976), que ofrecerá la integral de las seis Suites francesas de Bach, obras escritas por el compositor alemán entre 1722 y 1725 con carácter didáctico, para la formación de sus hijos. Pescia ha destacado notablemente en la interpretación de la música bachiana (tiene grabaciones nada menos que del Clave bien temperado, las Variaciones Goldberg y El arte de la fuga), pero también es un reconocido schumanniano y un gran intérprete de la música del siglo XX (de John Cage a Sofia Gubaidulina y Olivier Messiaen).

LISTA DE REPRODUCCIÓN EN SPOTIFY

[demoura]

NOS 250 ANOS DO NASCIMENTO DE BEETHOVEN A INTEGRAL DOS QUARTETOS DE CORDAS NA GULBENKIAN : exigiu público devoto disposto a sacrificar outros deleites do fim de semana ...Sei por isso de amigos meus ,apaixonados de música de câmara ,que não aderiram a este modelo em dose maciça. Na realidade os quartetos foram interpretados numa 'maratona' que manteve o Grande Auditório ocupado a partir das 15:00 até ao final da noite (perto das 24:00, no sábado ; cerca das 21:00, no domingo), por "seis dos melhores agrupamentos de câmara da atualidade", segundo a Fundação: os quartetos Mettis, Castalian, Schumann, Van Kuijk, Novus e Meccore. Todos eles incluíam no alinhamento quartetos das fases precoce , media e tardia. “Mea culpa “ não alterei a data da estreia do S.Carlos e por isso no primeiro dia só pudemos assistir ao programa do Mettis falhando os outros dois . Lamento pois as integrais são como qualquer adição -a dose aumenta a apetência ...Resta todavia poder ouvi-los na RTP2 que gravou a integral . Não sou crítico musical e por essa razão vou apenas limitar-me a assinalar destaques pessoais nestas impressões de circunstância .Gostei dos lituanos do METTIS onde depois do quarteto “ Harpa” destaco a prestação no quarteto tardio para Cordas n.º 13, em Si bemol maior, op. 130 .Composto entre os anos de 1825 e 1826, o quarteto para cordas op. 130 constitui o corolário da primeira trilogia de quartetos finais, a par do op. 127 e do op. 132 todos dedicados ao príncipe russo Nikolai Galitzine . Neste quarteto fascinou a forma como trataram a beleza do movimento lento da cavatina . No domingo comecei às 12 horas com o Quatuor Van Kuijk .Cheguei cedo, a esta hora sozinho, e degluti uma refeição frugal no frio do jardim .Desde a sua constituição, em 2012, o Quatuor Van Kuijk tem vindo a afirmar-se nas com a conquista de vários prémios: 1.º classificado, Prémio Beethoven e Prémio Haydn no Concurso Internacional de Quartetos de Cordas do Wigmore Hall (2015);. Foi nomeado BBC New Generation Artists (2015-2017) e laureado pela Academia do Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Foram também selecionados ECHO Rising Stars para a temporada 2017-2018, tendo-se então estreado na Fundação Gulbenkian. Nicolas Van Kuijk Violino ,Sylvain Favre-Bulle Violino ,Emmanuel François Viola e François Robin Violoncelo apresentaram o Quarteto para Cordas n.º 3, em Ré maior, op. 18 n.º 3,o Quarteto para Cordas n.º 16, em Fá maior, op. 135 e o Quarteto para Cordas n.º 9, em Dó maiores or, op. 59 n.º 3, “Razumovsky” . O agrupamento polaco foi para mim dos melhores e neste ultimo teve uma interpretação arrasadora . (Tenho pela figura do príncipe russo uma enorme admiração - nesse mecena grandioso está algo da resistência de Leninegrado ) . Já com a preciosa companhia da Zica as três da tarde foi tempo para os jovens do Novus String Quartet . Na música dos sul coreanos presença habitual do Festival de Marvao , o melhor foi a brilhante execução do Quarteto para Cordas n.º 11, em Fá menor, op. 95, “Quartetto serioso” . Para o fim ficou o Meccore String Quartet um grupo polaco que desde a sua formação em 2007 tem recebido inúmeros prémios recebido no auditório com grande entusiasmo O programa incluiu o op. 18 n.º 1 primeiro quarteto de cordas de Beethoven, com o qual o compositor de 27 anos entrou no campo da música de câmara depois o n.º 15, ,op. 132 uma incursão no caminho revolucionário dos “late quartets “ que culminaria no "Große Fuge" ou "Grande Fuga" ! Com aplausos entusiásticos do público fechou com chave de ouro a maratona Beethoven . Foi um feliz domingo

January Performances – Anne Sofie von Otter, Béla Fleck, Martin Hayes, and Streichquartettfest Heidelberg

This month, we’re hitting the road for performances in Sweden, Germany, the US, Ireland, and the UK. We’re joining some of our favorite collaborators, including mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, banjoist Béla Fleck, and fiddler Martin Hayes.

First off, we join Anne Sofie at the Malmö Live Konserthus on January 11, followed by an evening at the Nikolaisaal in Potsdam, Germany on January 12. We had a blast touring with Anne Sofie in the fall of 2016, following the release of our recording So Many Things – excited to be reuniting for these shows. We then make our way back to the states, starting in Texas where we meet up with the one and only Béla Fleck at Dallas’ Majestic Theatre on January 14 and at the San Angelo Performing Arts Center on January 15. With Béla, you can also catch us in Edmond, OK at the Armstrong Auditorium (Jan 16), Fayetteville, AR at the Walton Arts Center (Jan 17), Beaver Creek, CO at the Vilar Performing Arts Center (Jan 19), Boulder, CO at the Macky Auditorium – University of Colorado, Boulder (Jan 20), and in Billings, MT at the Alberta Bair Theater (Jan 21). Our collaboration with Béla goes back several years to Night Flight Over Water for string quartet and banjo, written for us and heard on The Impostor in 2013. You can also hear us together in Griff and the Quintet for Banjo and Strings on Juno Concerto, released just last spring.

We then make our way back across the pond (epic routing!) to join Irish fiddler Martin Hayes, performing at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on January 24 and at the Barbican Centre in London on January 25. Looking ahead, we're putting the finishing touches on an upcoming collaborative album with Martin! More on that soon!

January 27 sees a marathon of performances in Germany at the Streichquartettfest Heidelberg – we're honored to perform alongside a formidable cast of fellow quartets, including the Asasello Quartet, Castalian String Quartet, Quatuor Diotima, and Zemlinsky Quartet.
