Tchaikovsky, Serenade for Strings in C major, op.48 (Mozartwoche 2000)
“Hallmarks of this chamber ensemble are its youthful liveliness and enthusiastic commitment to expressing the composer’s intentions as vividly as possible” wrote the leading German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung about the “Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie”. Founded in 1990, this ensemble consists of young musicians who devote themselves above all to non-repertoire works, contemporary music and imaginative musical projects. This special concert recorded at the Mozartwoche 2000 reflects the ensemble’s interest in showcasing not only the talent of gifted young soloists, but also the rare and unique instruments on which they are playing. Under the distinguished American conductor Philip Greenberg, the ensemble performs Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings op. 48 in a concert recorded at the Mozarteum Salzburg in 2000.
