At this year's ‘Music in the Houses of the City’ festival, Lena Kravets and Tobias Kassung will present their new programme ‘Nachtstücke – Nocturnes zwischen Traum und Tango’ (Nocturnes between Dream and Tango). In keeping with the festival, they will focus on music that was cultivated with great artistry in the bourgeois salons of the 19th century.
Romantic nocturnes and adagios by Burgmüller and Beethoven and impressionistic pieces by Manuel de Falla and Gabriel Fauré perfectly express the intimate sound of cellos and guitars.
With Tobias Kassung's playful Capriccio and Raffaele Bellafrente's ingenious tango, the duo brings to life not only the contemplative side of the ‘Nachtstücke’, but also the exuberant nightlife. And everything culminates in the ‘Quatre rêves’ by Parisian composer Mathias Duplessy, who has set the exuberant nightlife of the French metropolis to rousing music in his four musical dreams.
