The celebrated soprano Anna Prohaska is known for her interest in unusual programs. In a chamber music setting, she also opens up a varied mix of works in her debut at the Ludwigsburg Festival. Together with violinist Veronika Eberle, cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Iddo Bar-Shaï, rarely performed pieces by Leoš Janáček, György Kurtág, and Dmitri Shostakovich, among others, are combined. It becomes apparent that Janáček should not get reduced to his operas and Shostakovich to his symphonies. Thus the experimental facets of their lesser-known chamber music hold surprises. In an exclusive one-to-one with Prohaska, each of the three instruments gets the opportunity to present its own sonic merits. Listen to an intimate conversation and enjoy the pleasant alternative to large-scale events!
