Cosmos of chamber music: Julia Fischer Quartet

For one quarter of the Julia Fischer Quartet, this concert is a home game: cellist Benjamin Nyfenegger is normally the deputy principal cellist in the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. His spontaneity on stage is "frightening in the most positive sense", says Julia Fischer about him - and makes it clear what this ensemble is all about: namely an intensive, high-profile, committed interplay between four strong characters. This time, they take on quartets by Shostakovich and Brahms, which explore emotional depths and heights in very different ways - and ensure that all four voices can make a significant contribution.
