More details– RADIO.STRING.QUARTET –
aERO – four seasons, VOL.1
The (almost) final breath of the radio.string.quartet’s ELEMENTE journey.
The radio.string.quartet from Vienna is beginning to complete its epic ELEMENTS quadrology – a project which, after earth, water and fire, now makes the air tangible in the context of the four seasons.
With “aERO – four seasons, VOL.1” the quartet presents its very own interpretation of the air of spring and summer.…
Inspired by Vivaldi’s ideas and formal structure, the ensemble is taking a new, musically and sonically unusual direction. Without direct quotations or stylistic borrowings, the result is a visionary statement of creative freedom and musical innovation.
As pioneers of classical crossover, the radio.string.quartet once again impresses with its deep musical sensibility, with which it explores the boundaries between classical, pop, avant-garde, world music and electronics, making it the epitome of the forward-looking string quartet in the 21st century.
His stylistic openness once again becomes an artistic strength here: weightless, transparent and full of movement, the work reflects the essence of the element. The music floats – sometimes barely audible like a breath of air, then again impulsive like a gust of wind. With the finest timbres, electronic accents and precise interplay, the four musicians create an acoustic aerial view that opens up new spaces for musical visions.
“aERO – four seasons, VOL.1” is not only a musical exclamation mark, but also the beginning of a poetic conclusion to their multi-year journey through the elemental forces of nature.
It is a sigh of relief and at the same time a letting go – a sound that remains even when it fades.
No ordinary concert program, but an atmospheric sound installation that appeals to classical music lovers as well as experimental listeners.
A work that breathes – and leaves you breathless.
