Boccherini, Pauels & Schubert
With the Alinde Quartet, one of the outstanding and internationally established string quartets performed at the Chamber Concerts. The programme was of very special charm: Schubert's great "Rosamunde" String Quartet, Boccherini's Quartet op. 32 No. 4 and - a highlight for the Cologne audience - the String Quartet No. 1 by Heinz Pauels.
Pauels (1908-1985) was the director of drama music in Cologne after the Second World War, and his compositions - premiered by Günter Wand, among others - are of outstanding quality. Pauels' quartet made an extraordinary impression on the audience and we are pleased to be able to point a finger here at one of the whole of Cologne's great post-war composers as part of our #RepertoireNRW campaign. A particularly nice moment was the presence of Heinz Pauels' daughter, Mrs Pauels-Rahman. Seen here together with the Alinde Quartet and the youngest quartet offspring at the chamber concerts.

The Alinde Quartet from Cologne has become a permanent fixture among the outstanding, established string quartets. Trained by Professor Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet) at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia in Madrid and Eberhard Feltz at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, among others, the Alinde Quartet now performs at renowned festivals such as the Verbier Festival, Aldeburgh Residencies, Chamber Music European Meetings in Bordeaux and the Mozartfest Würzburg. In summer 2018, it was part of the Chamber Music Residency at the Aix-en-Provence Festival. It was also a guest at the Konzerthaus Berlin, the WDR Funkhaus Cologne and the Kölner Philharmonie.
