Description: | Mendelssohn & Enescu: String Octets by Lorenzo Gatto, released 6 October 2023.
This version of Mendelssohn & Enescu: String Octets comes as a 1xCD. - .. STRING OCTETSEmerging from the pandemic like a bubble of oxygen from the ocean depths, this recording project is built around two ideas that lie at the heart of the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth. On one hand it perfectly embodies the ideal of a continuing relationship between masters and artists in residence by bringing together three generations of musicians with Miguel Da Silva, Lorenzo Gatto and the young artists currently in residence at the Chapel, providing an opportunity for the former to pass on their mastery and knowledge to the latter. On the other, it also fulfils a desire to bring together a number of artists in an ensemble that unites chamber music with a string orchestra for major works. The string octet, a form made even more attractive by it's rarity, was adopted by two composers of genius: Mendelssohn and Enescu. These youthful works, nonetheless mature and filled with musical riches, echo each other here by highlighting their contrasts.The CD "Streichoktette" by Gatto/Da Silva/Soloists Of The Queen Elisabeth Cha, released by the renowned label Fuga Libera, offers a captivating journey into the world of string octets. This recording features masterful interpretations of works for eight strings, showcasing both technical brilliance and emotional depth. The ensemble brings together some of today?s most accomplished musicians: violinist Lorenzo Gatto and violist Miguel da Silva are joined by outstanding soloists from the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Chapel. Their collective artistry results in performances that are both vibrant and nuanced, breathing new life into classic repertoire.
