Jan Vogler, cello and conductor
Villa Musica String Ensemble

 

Brahms’ magnificent Second String Quintet opens with a fantastic cello theme, tailor-made for Jan Vogler. Moving between Viennese waltz and csárdás, ecstatic allegro and melancholic adagio, the world-renowned cellist from Dresden paints a captivating portrait of the late Brahms. From the cheerful Haydn to “minimal music” by Philip Glass, tradition and the present join hands.
