Kammermusik +: Mariani Klavierquartett

In the organizer's words:

The Mariani Piano Quartet is made up of Philipp Bohnen, a member of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Barbara Buntrock, who was principal violist at the Gewandhaus, Peter-Philipp Staemmler, principal cellist of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, and pianist Gerhard Vielhaber, a student of Karl-Heinz Kämmerling. Among the most exciting new discoveries of the four are the three piano quartets by Friedrich Gernsheim, whose music was banned by the Nazis due to his Jewish origins and has since been forgotten. Gernsheim's first piano quartet, heard here, is a rapturous work in the tradition of Schumann. Bohuslav Martinů's piano quartet, written in 1942 in exile in America, is full of energy and has a Czech tone. "A quartet makes you feel at home, at home, happy," the composer said. Antonín Dvořák could also have subscribed to this.
