Keller Quartet A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Critics from the New York Times voted them among the best in 2013, The Strad string music journal have spoken in awe of them, and in 2014 Belgian critics awarded the Caecilia Prize to the Keller Quartet’s Ligeti–Barber album. These facts alone give some idea of the standard of the evening ahead. Although Ligeti’s First String Quartet is a single monumental movement, it is in essence an eventful series of moods and formulations, from folk and dance motifs right up to deeply sarcastic elements. Barber’s Adagio is almost the complete opposite: one of the best-known pieces of 20th century music, it is the purgatory of emotions, the quintessence of elegy and passion.
