Kammermusikmatinee des Konzerthausorchesters

A few months before his death, Leoš Janáček wrote his second string quartet „Intimate Letters“ in 1928. The epithet says it all: the work glows with the years of love between the now 74-year-old married composer and Kamila Stöslová, almost forty years his junior. He had an extra-musical love correspondence with her, in which he clearly describes what lies behind the four movements. „Voces intimae“ (1909/10) by Jean Sibelius is also a very personal work that was written after the composer suffered a deep psychological and physical crisis. With its rugged expressionist sounds, the quartet was like a new beginning for him and was a great success.
