Details
In the chamber concert of the musicAeterna orchestra soloists three 20th century compositions written in, tentatively speaking, the “traditional” classical-academic style meet.
Ernő Dohnányi’s early Serenade for string trio was deliberately built according to the classicist model: the composer took a sample of the Serenade for string trio by Ludwig van Beethoven. The Sonata for cello and piano by the 20th century British classic Benjamin Britten was his first work written for Mstislav Rostropovich. Next to the two pillars of the 20th century chamber repertoire, the “Sentimental Suite” by the Russian composer Vitaly Khodosh, who worked as a professor at the Rostov Conservatory for many years, will be performed.
