Info zu Concert de Chausson - Quintette de Vierne

Pianist Eric Le Sage, vielfach gerühmt für sein »kostbar-nobles und klanglich subtiles Spiel« (Rondo), widmet sich hier zwei ungewöhnlichen und im Konzertsaal eher selten anzutreffenden Kammermusikwerken der französischen Spätromantik. Da ist das Konzert für Violine, Klavier und Streichquartett, op. 21 von Ernest Chausson (1855-1899), ein Streichsextett mit einem besonders virtuosen Violinpart (Widmungsträger war die belgische Geigenlegende Eugene Ysaÿe) - das tatsächlich das ist, was es dem Titel nach bedeutet: ein Violinkonzert mit Kammermusikbegleitung. Und das ebenfalls rare Klavierquintett op. 42 von Louis Vierne (1870-1937), der vor allem für seine Orgelmusik bekannt war, hier jedoch - aus persönlicher Betroffenheit, da sein Sohn im Ersten Weltkrieg gefallen war - ein berührend-melancholisches Kammermusikwerk geschrieben hat. Eric Le Sage wird bei Chausson von Daishin Kashimoto, langjähriger Konzertmeister der Berliner Philharmoniker, an der Violine und dem Schumann Quartett, bei Vierne, neben Kashimoto und Natalia Lomeiko (Violine), auch von Yuri Zhislin (Viola) und Claudio Bohórquez (Cello) unterstützt.
