Beschreibung
This quintet for two violins, viola, violoncello and piano, created in 2024, was inspired by the striking landscapes of the Alps-Adriatic region. From the third highest mountain in Slovenia – the Mangart – the journey leads to Duino near Trieste (familiar from Rainer Maria Rilke’s celebrated collection of poems, the Duino Elegies). The route continues to the Dalmatian coast, to the steep, picturesque cliffs of the Croatian island of Dugi Otok, and ends at the Weißenfels Lakes in the Italian Val Canale (Canal Valley). Combining harmonic elements of the post-bebop era with lyrical rhetoric, the work has a timeless yet contrasting aesthetic.
