With Mozart as the prologue, this programme offers audiences two composers who were able to combine the avant-garde with an understandable and close language: the Czech Martinu and the Catalan Montsalvatge.
The Divertimenti that Mozart wrote shortly before his decisive trip to Milan are a form of orchestral essay, proof of which is that a short while after, he orchestrated them all. Martinu’s Third Quartet is a peculiar and surprisingly experimental work whereas the Indian Quartet, written during Montsalvatge’s Antillean phase, is undoubtedly the Girona composer’s most significant piece of chamber music. |
