The Kulturkirche Eifel regularly hosts fantastic concerts in the Schleiden region. Lena Kravets and Tobias Kassung will be performing at the Protestant Church in Hellenthal with their programme ‘Nachtstücke – zwischen Tango und Traum’ (Night Pieces – Between Tango and Dream).
Romantic nocturnes and adagios by Burgmüller, Glinka and Beethoven perfectly express the intimate sound of the cello and guitar. With Kassung's own new piece and Raffaele Bellafrente's brilliant tango, the duo brings to life not only the contemplative side of the ‘night pieces’ 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.
Programme:
Frédéric Burgmüller (1806-1874): Deux Nocturnes; Michail I. Glinka (1804-1857): Remembrance; Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924): Après un Rêve, op. 7 No. 1; Tobias Kassung (*1977): Capriccio à la lumière du sud, op. 16; Raffaele Bellafronte (*1961): Tango; Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Adagio cantabile (from Klaviersonate Nr. 8 op. 13); Ernest Bloch (1880-1959): Prayer (No. 1 „From Jewish Life”); Traditional from Palestine: Lamma Bada Yatathana; Mathias Duplessy (*1972): Sonate pour violoncelle et guitare en quatre rêves
