About «résonances»

The Tetzlaff Quartettā€™s programme comprises three works written in admiration of other composers.

The very young Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy draws inspiration from Ludwig van Beethoven for his first quartet, while Jƶrg Widmann pays homage to Joseph Haydn and his monumental Seven Last Words of Christ, and Johannes Brahms, as well, embraces the writing of his predecessors, adding a mastery of counterpoint reminiscent of Johann Sebastian Bach.
