Berliner Philharmoniker EnsemblesWind chamber music by Beethoven, Schreck and Enescu
Concert information
Info
Whether written for eight, nine or ten players, chamber music for wind instruments on this scale is an experience for the audience and performers alike. It opens up a rare sound world, rich in instrumental colour, at times almost orchestral, at others intimate and conversational. This is true of Beethoven’s festive Octet in E-flat major, Gustav Schreck’s Romantic Nonet and George Enescu’s richly textured Decet alike. All three works stand in the tradition of the divertimento, combining playful lightness with expressive depth.

Background
In the shadow of a titan
Beethoven and his successors
For the composers who followed him, Ludwig van Beethoven was both an inspiration and a challenge. How could anyone dare to measure themselves against a man who had left behind such consummate symphonies, string quartets and piano sonatas? Our series Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles explores this uneasy relationship between role model and successors.
