Tradition & Present

Jan Vogler, cello and conductor
Villa Musica String Ensemble

 

Jan Vogler, the world-renowned cellist from Dresden, performs works by Haydn and Brahms. Brahms’s magnificent Second String Quintet opens with a jubilant cello theme, as if tailor-made for the globally acclaimed cellist. Together with young string virtuosos from Villa Musica, he paints a portrait of the late Brahms, moving between Viennese waltzes and csárdás, ecstasy and melancholy. In Haydn’s cheerful Opus 33 and Phil Glass’s “minimal music,” tradition and the present come together.

 

Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 33 No. 4
