The biggest names in quartet and chamber music are coming together for the jury concert of the Bordeaux International Competition! This is an opportunity to rediscover Mozart’s String Quintet K. 516, in which the Viennese composer exploits the second viola to its full expressive potential. A kind of evil twin of the quintet K. 515, the work is full of anguish, fever and incessant modulations, finally concluding in a strangely light-hearted rondo. We must continue to make music despite everything, and this is also the message of a Schumann seeking new spaces in the formation of the piano quintet. Anne Queffélec, grande dame of the piano, joins the Modigliani for this monument of romantic music. Capriccio is the last of Richard Strauss’ lyrical works. Through the image of a loving trio, it questions the hierarchies between words and music on the opera stage. Neglecting the expected overture or prelude, Strauss begins his work with a moment of chamber music. A string sextet embodied by the unique alliance of Corina Belcea, Amaury Coeytaux, Laurent Marfaing, Miguel Da Silva, Valentin Erben, François Kieffer and Loïc Rio, which will transport us into the fascinating subtleties of a conversation between strings.
