Quatuor Hermès

STRING QUARTET

From the intimate to the monumental

Webern – Mozart – Bruckner (quintet for two violas)

with Gregor Sigl, viola

Alternating between tenderness and fervour, this programme spans an arc from intimate lyricism to symphonic grandeur. The Langsamer Satz by the young Webern, still imbued with romanticism, sings of pure, restrained emotion. With Mozart, grace and clarity open up to a soothing light of crystalline perfection. Finally, Bruckner's Quintet, a rare chamber work by the composer, carries this momentum towards transcendence, in a vast and inhabited architecture.
