Close-up: portretconcert Liviu Prunaru

Liviu Prunaru

Concertmaster Liviu Prunaru surrounds himself with like-minded fellow string players for a concert with two highlights of romantic chamber music. Dvořák's Terzetto owes its strange instrumentation to the fact that it was written for a chemistry student who lived in an adjoining room and took violin lessons there. The performance with Dvořák himself on viola was not performed, because the Terzetto proved too difficult for an amateur. But Dvořák loved this light-hearted work, and rightly so. Speaking of light-hearted: three years later Tchaikovsky wrote his sextet Souvenir de Florence , a late Romantic masterpiece full of Mozartian elegance and Italian lilt.
