Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 11am Jörg Widmann Quartet No 3 ‘The Hunt’ Edinburgh International Festival Edinburgh Scotland http://www.eif.co.uk
GRINGOLTS QUARTET
Led by international violin soloist Ilya Gringolts, the Gringolts Quartet has dazzled audiences from Salzburg to London’s Wigmore Hall with its remarkable technical prowess and its raw, radiant, revealing accounts of music old and new.
Brahms’s bright, sunny and exquisitely crafted Third Quartet closes their rich, witty International Festival debut recital. It follows Haydn’s brilliantly comic ‘The Frog’ Quartet, and the darker humour of contemporary German composer Jörg Widmann’s fantastical ‘The Hunt’ Quartet – which ends in a literal musical hunt of one of the quartet players.
This concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 14 August

Thursday, August 17, 2017 at 11am Matthias Pintscher New Work Edinburgh International Festival Edinburgh Scotland http://www.eif.co.uk
Benjamin Appl Baritone
Pavel Kolesnikov Piano
Lieder and songs by Schubert, Schumann, Grieg and Matthias Pintscher
Charismatic, perceptive, and performing with a striking identification with his songs, young German baritone Benjamin Appl has been hailed as one of the finest of his generation of Lieder singers – for his seductive expressiveness, his honeyed voice and his astonishing balance of power and sensitivity.
He is joined by the remarkable young Siberianborn pianist Pavel Kolesnikov, celebrated for the astonishing freshness of his spellbinding playing, for a wide-ranging recital of classic Lieder.
They open with a broad Schubert collection – from the joyous affirmation of Die Taubenpost to the gruesome Romantic horror of Der Zwerg – and travel through dramatic songs by Schumann and Grieg’s achingly melodious Sechs Lieder to a new work by contemporary German composer Matthias Pintscher.
This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3
