CELLO, CELLISSIMO A ENCORE!

The cello is not only considered to be one of the noblest instruments, best imitating the human voice, but also perfectly combines into multi-part, but homogeneous ensembles. Quartets, quintets and larger ensembles composed only of cellos can be very surprising by how well they play different roles - for example, symphony orchestras. That is why the concert of the Gorzów Philharmonic Cello Quintet is more than a chamber concert. There are many lyrical elements in the program — the cello's timbre fits perfectly. They will therefore be written in the original version for solo piano: Piotr Czajkowski's Sad Song, Chopin's Largo E major by Fryderyk Chopin, as well as Pawan for the late Infanta Maurice Ravel. Among the undisputed hits of cello music are always mentioned Rococo Variations — a piece full of virtuoso and romantic splendor for cello and orchestra. How will the five-cello version sound and which one will take over the others to shine as a soloist? The only composition written in the original for the cello quintet is the Elegy by Franz Lachner — a German composer, conductor, organist, but also a cellist who was friends with Franz Schubert. The story of sadness and longing in this shot is full of elegance, not hysteria. Subtle and balanced, and at the same time very moving.
