Festival O/Modernt: Viennese Waltz, Slavic Melancholy, Hungarian Flair

Incorporated in the generous arch of the String Quintet in G Major, one of Brahms’s most cosmopolitan and optimistic compositions, are the strains of Viennese waltzes, Slavic melancholy and virtuoso Hungarian gypsy music. This concert dives deeper into those worlds in a programme featuring works by Dvořák, Strauss, Shostakovich and Brahms himself. Brahms’s lifelong friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim, complained that, in order for it to be heard, the opening of the quintet needs three cellists. Joachim’s wish is fulfilled in Johannes Marmén’s arrangement for string orchestra, when our three very own O/Modernt cellists take to the stage. The orchestral arrangement is particularly fitting for this piece, which grew from Brahms’s sketches for an unwritten fifth symphony.
