Programme: V. castle concert

Leoš Janáček (1854–1928): String Quartet No. 1 “based on L. N. Tolstoy’s Kreutzer Sonata”

Bohuslav Martinů (1890–1959): Serenade for two clarinets, violin, viola, cello, H. 334

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791): Quintet movement in F major for clarinet, basset horn and string trio, KV 580b (Anh. 90)

Joseph Haydn (1732–1809): String Quartet no. 5 in D major “The Lark”, Hob.III:63, op. 64

Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847): Concertante piece no. 2 in D minor for clarinet, basset horn and strings, Op. 114

The unrestrained energy of the leading string quartet is combined with the flow of colors of the instruments of two top clarinet professors in the program of the great composers. From the Laška native and his passionately dramatic string quartet, they are transferred to the full sound of two clarinets in a modern work, in contrast to that in the classical graceful Quintet movement, then in the cast of clarinet and basset horn. From the Lark Quartet, they soar throughout the cast as their timbres sing in Mendelssohn’s romantic piece.
