The German composer, director and producer Sven Helbig is one of the greatest celebrities in the movement known as “new symphonic music”; he has a high degree of eclecticism which has permitted his to collaborate with diverse artists such as the Pet Shop Boys or Snoop Dog, or with ensembles of a classical music nature. In this concert, the performance is given by the piano quartet called Fauré Quartett. The Faure Quartet is right up there with the best ensembles you can listen to today” Harald Eggebrecht, Süddeutsche Zeitung. The requirements have changed. Whoever is playing chamber music today can’t be limited to the rules from decades ago. The expectations regarding the diversity of repertoire have changed, which creates room for ensembles like the Faure Quartett, which has established itself as one of the world’s leading piano quartets within just a few years. Dirk Mommertz (piano), Erika Geldsetzer (violin), Sascha Frömbling (viola) and Konstantin Heidrich (cello) use the opportunities arising from these developments. They discover new sound fields in chamber music and perform compositions outside the mainstream repertoire.


Sven Helbig: Pocket Symphonies - long Teaser
Watch the long teaser for Sven Helbig's latest album "Pocket Symphonies" released on Deutsche Grammophon. Pocket Symphonies are twelve symphonic pearls in the form of songs. Short, catchy and yet with the immensity and depth of great classic symphonies, they draw on centuries of power and glory. Helbig's emotional symphonic images for orchestra and piano are closely connected to his life, experiences, aspirations and also the voids between epochs, systems and continents -- and yet, they all have one thing in common: they are reminiscent of film music.
