Ensemble Kandinsky featuring Andreas Janke – Violin, Thomas Grossenbacher – Cello, Fabio Di Càsola – Clarinet, and Benjamin Engeli – Piano

Serge Bortkiewicz(1877-1952): Five Melodies from "One Thousand and One Nights", Op.37
W.A. Mozart(1756-1791): Duo for Violin and Viola in B-flat major, KV 424, arranged for violin and cello
Donato Lovreglio(1841-1907): Concert Fantasy on Themes from Verdi’s "La Traviata", Op. 45, for clarinet and piano
Walter Rabl(1873-1940): Clarinet Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 1

This concert program brings together works rich in virtuosity, expressiveness, and melodic beauty. Serge Bortkiewicz’s Five Melodies from "One Thousand and One Nights" evoke a magical world with oriental influences. Mozart’s duo captivates with elegant lightness and refined counterpoint (here arranged for violin and cello). Donato Lovreglio’s Concert Fantasy on themes from Verdi’s La Traviata combines operatic brilliance with dazzling clarinet artistry. The evening concludes with Walter Rabl’s Clarinet Quartet – an impressive late Romantic work with a colorful and expressive soundscape.
