Beethoven: Quartets for string orchestra
Performers
- Orchestre national d'Auvergne
- Roberto Forés Veses
Composer
Description
The Orchestre d'Auvergne and Aparté continue their partnership with this new recording dedicated to masterpieces of the romantic repertoire. Beethoven's Quartet No. 11, Op. 95 and No. 14, Op. 131 belong to the works designed for the private interpretation and inner listening of the happy few music-connoisseurs. Those two chamber music scores came from the mind of a digger of new sounds. The question of the quartets' reception has to be updated with actual terms and their arrangement for string orchestra by Gustav Mahler reminds subtly that the public of these works grows over time. The arrangement process shows also admiration and preserves music's eternal youth for which the Orchestre d'Auvergne and its conductor Roberto Forés Veses play the role of a courier.
Listen
In the press
L'expression impeccable, le sens aigu des contrastes, des nuances et surtout la continuité dramatique des pupitres de l'Orchestre d'Auvergne sont fort précieux. Ces musiciens savent exalter le foisonnement des idées autant qu'en intérioriser la tension.
Diapason
L'occasion pour l'Orchestre d'Auvergne et Roberto Forés Veses de faire valoir leur style et leur discipline. Des qualités affirmées dans le monumental 14ème Quatuor, décrit par Wagner comme la méditation d'un saint à l'écoute de ses voix intérieures.
