Schubert & Berwald: Chamber Works
Friday 22 November 2024
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
In the 200th anniversary of its composition, members of the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique bring their ‘astonishing collective virtuosity’ (Bachtrack) to a performances of Schubert’s Octet, alongside the lesser-known Grand Septet by Schubert’s Swedish contemporary, Berwald.
These works were both modelled on the tradition of Beethoven’s Septet, with Schubert adding a second violin. Berwald’s short septet is structurally innovative; by comparison, Schubert copies Beethoven’s model more directly in a substantial work that lasts more than an hour.
Rarely has either piece been heard performed on period instruments, and they are sure to be illuminated anew by a musicians renowned for ‘performances of radiant intensity and commitment…with an electric crackle of excitement tempered by virtuosic swagger’ (ArtsDesk)
