TABEA ZIMMERMANN & FRIENDS III
Participants
- Tabea Zimmermann viola
- Thomas Hoppe piano
Programme
Documentary film ‘Dmitri Shostakovich. The Viola Sonata’ (1981, OmU)
The film documents the often endangered existence of Dmitri Shostakovich in the Soviet Union. The directors created their work from archive material, which they edited exclusively with music by the composer. Criticism of Soviet cultural policy and solidarity with the composer, who on the one hand was honoured, but on the other hand was repeatedly harassed and humiliated, is created through the art of montage image/music.
intermission
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
Sonata in C major for viola and piano op. 147
The film is introduced by Brigitte van Kann.

Johannes Brahms (1833–1897)
String Quintet No. 2 in G major, Op. 111
Concert without intermission
A journey between melancholy and new beginnings: George Enescu's melodious Third Violin Sonata (“Dans le caractère populaire romain”) transports listeners to Romanian soundscapes with expressive power and folkloric finesse. Johannes Brahms' late String Quintet in G major brings warmth, breadth, and inner peace to life. When young soloists from the Kronberg Academy play alongside masters such as Mihaela Martin and Nobuko Imai, very special musical “vibrations” are created. It is an evening full of depth, passion, and lively chamber music encounters.
