Mendellsohn, Haydn, Mozart, Quartetti – Teatro Donizetti, Bergamo

About this event

The concert offers a journey through the sound world of the string quartet, explored via works by three of its principal exponents from Classicism to Romanticism. The performance focuses on the quintessential chamber-music ensemble, highlighting how writing for four solo strings became, from the late eighteenth century onward, a fundamental proving ground for great composers. The execution stands out for its use of instruments set up according to the performance practice of the composers’ eras. This historically informed choice aims to bring listeners closer to the music’s original sonic essence, allowing them to appreciate the timbral nuances and articulations specific to the period in which the works were conceived.
