Opéra du Rhin

Home

Opéra du Rhin
Salle Bastide

‘ This piece started out as an ostinato, a slow and persistent phrase as unrelenting as death with an unsettling obsessive quality. Eight years later, Schubert developed it into a theme and variations that, if he had written nothing but, would have confirmed his reputation as a musical genius. Two centuries later, the quartet has inspired Catalan composer Arnau Gran i Romero to put his own personal stamp on this multifaceted theme.’


Quartet Concrète performed Schubert’s ‘Death and the Maiden’ alongside composer Arnau Gran i Romero’s piece ‘À vif’, based on the theme of Schubert’s 2nd movement. We were presented by Quatuor Diotima to a sold out audience in beautiful Strasbourg, in the Opéra du Rhin’s striking ‘Salle Bastide’.
