Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Antje Weithaas + Georgy Kovalev - Sinfonia Concertante

Widmann borrowed the title for his theatrical 'Jagdquartett' from Mozart's masterful string quartet of the same name. The work demands dramatic flair from the musicians; imagine a chase that ends in the cellist's demise. Dvořák's 'Serenade for Strings' is one of the most important pieces in the string orchestra repertoire and is loved for its rich melodies and graceful atmosphere, full of Slavic verve and characteristic rhythms. Theatricality and lively interaction in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.
