Zwei großartige Interpreten

Zwei großartige Interpreten
Erlesene Kammermusik (Duo Recital) erfreute die Gäste im sommerlichen Festsaal des Stiftes Kremsmünster. Julian Rachlin ist einer der renommiertesten Geiger der Gegenwart - und ein genauso geschätzter Bratschist. Die Pianistin Magda Amara, den Stiftskonzert-Besuchern längst mit ihren Soloabenden bekannt, faszinierte am Fazioli Flügel mit ihrer sorgsamen, aber auch aufbrausenden Begleitkunst. Rachlin wählte für den Abend Musik des 19. Jahrhunderts: Die Sonate Nr. 2 für Viola und Klavier Es-Dur von Johannes Brahms, ein abgeklärtes Spätwerk, dennoch heiter und leidenschaftlich. Edvard Griegs Sonate Nr. 3 für Violine und Klavier c-Moll op. 45 versprühte bezaubernd lyrisches Kolorit. Mit Dvoraks "Romantischem Stück" op. 75 erklingen wunderbare böhmische Stimmungsbilder, denen Rachlin in faszinierender Weise nachspürt. Letztlich stand Cäsar Francks Sonate für Violine und Klavier A-Dur am Programm, in derartiger Bravour vermittelt, dass schon nach dem 2. Satz ein Applaussturm für die beiden großartigen Interpreten losbrach.

"Krone"-Kritik von Balduin Sulzer
June 16, 2014 -
Schon wieder ist von überwältigender Kammermusik in Oberösterreich zu berichten, diesmal bei den Stiftskonzerten im prallvollen Kaisersaal zu Kremsmünster. Zu Gast waren Julian Rachlin (Violin, Bratsche) und seine gottvolle russische Pianistin Magda Amara. Dieses Musikantenduo ist meisterhaft aufeinander abgestimmt, technisch perfekt und auch voll jugendlich krachenden Temperaments. Zwischendurch zeigen sich die beiden auch für poetische Passagen aufgeschlossen, nahmen die Bratschensonate op. 120/2 von Brahms, die Geigensonaten op. 45 von Grieg und die A-Dur von Franck ins Fadenkreuz und brachten damit die Zuhörerschaft nahe an den Siedepunkt. Das begeisterte Publikum konnte sich erst nach Kreisels "Liebesfreud" als Zugabe wieder einigermaßen fassen. Ein glückhafter Stiftskonzert-Abend!
