Radio Chamber Orchestra - live broadcast
Wednesday, 30 March 2011 , 19.00

For its intimate nature, chamber music has been named 'the music of friends'. Referring to a quartet, Goethe described this genre as being 'a conversation between four people'. One needs special abilities to perform chamber music. These musical and social skills are radically different than those employed by a soloist or by a symphonic orchestra member.

Initially a gathering at a more or less professional level, chamber music was propelled by Ludwig van Beethoven to a standard that has kept at a safe distance both instrumentalists and composers, for quite some time. For example, Johannes Brahms had written and torn to pieces the scores for twenty string quartets until he dared to publish a work that he felt worthy for 'the giant stomping behind him'.

A programme dedicated to chamber music is our suggestion for the evening of Wednesday, March 30^th The piano-clarinet-'cello trio will feature three musicians who have always been a delight to our ears: Dana Borşan, Adrian Duminică and Marin Cazacu. They will be performing Beethoven, Mikhail Glinka and Brahms.

If you are not in the 'Mihail Jora' studio, you will have the opportunity to listen to the live broadcast of this recital - only on Radio Romania Music, from 19:00.
