Korpus Quartet & Kristina Mascher-Turner

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Romanze Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) Canto serioso Dmitri Chostakovitch (1906-1975) Scherzo Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) L’Ascension Par the richness of their timbre and their sound breadth, the instruments of the horn family offer a privileged terrain for transcription. Gathered in a quintet, they reveal a particularly wide expressive palette, ranging from solemn majesty to more intimate impulses. Pages by Bach, Messiaen, Nielsen, or Shostakovich are thus reinvented through these powerful and warm sonorities, to which the singular voice of the alphorn sometimes joins.
