Tanglewood Recital Series: Danish String Quartet

Ozawa Hall

Danish String Quartet 
Johannes Rostamo, cello

SCHUBERT Quintet in C, D.956
Thomas ADÈS Wreath for Franz Schubert, for String Quintet
SCHUBERT ‘Die Nebensonnen’ from Wintereisse (Arr. Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen)

This concert combines the current and the classical with three small chamber pieces featuring cellist Johannes Rostamo as a fifth member of the ensemble. Schubert’s Quintet in C – a piece that plays in the space between tension and comfort – is paired against Thomas Adès’ String Quintet, which the group premiered in March of this year. Die Nebonsonnen from Schubert’s Wintereisse is a wistful, haunting melody telling the tale of a lonely, love-stricken wanderer.
