Programme | J. Haydn: ‘Spring’ and ‘Summer’ from The Seasons (Part 2) Arrangement for string quartet by Sigismund von Neukomm (1802) in a short version on historical instruments with narration |
Location | Remise |
In Haydn's wonderful The Seasons, the string quartet showcases the human element, which is perhaps the most distinctive quality of Haydn's music. As always with Haydn, humour is also present, with animal sounds — including croaking frogs — inviting a smile. Words and music bring the scent of flowering meadows to life, as well as the lively depiction of the first warm rays of sunshine, oppressive humidity, and impending thunderstorms.
The quartet has teamed up with actor Helmut Vogel to present Haydn's work in a version by his close friend, Sigismund von Neukomm. Following Autumn and Winter last season, they now invite you to a musical celebration of spring.
