About this concert
- FR - Un ensemble soudé, des musiciens qui se comprennent parfaitement. Le Novo Quartet existe depuis six ans à peine, mais il donne l’impression d’avoir toujours joué dans cette configuration. Lors de ce concert, il présente le Quatuor à cordes en fa majeur de Dmitri Chostakovitch composé après-guerre, l'une de ses œuvres les plus caractéristiques dont il était lui-même très satisfait. Les musiciens le juxtaposent au Troisième Quatuor à cordes de Robert Schumann, qui fait partie de sa seule exploration du genre, regroupée dans l'Opus 41. Schumann a composé les trois quatuors à cordes formant cet opus en à peine cinq semaines, après une étude obsessionnelle des quatuors à cordes de Mozart, Beethoven et Haydn. - NL - Een hechte eenheid, muzikanten die elkaar perfect aanvoelen. Het Novo Quartet bestaat pas zes jaar, maar het lijkt alsof de muzikanten al een lange carrière samen hebben. Tijdens dit piknikconcert presenteren ze het naoorlogse Strijkkwartet in F van Dmitri Sjostakovitsj, een van zijn meest karateristieke werken waarover hijzelf erg tevreden was. Ze plaatsen het naast Robert Schumanns Derde Strijkkwartet, onderdeel van zijn enige verkenning van het genre, gebundeld in Opus 41. Schumann componeerde de drie strijkkwartetten op amper vijf weken, na een obsessieve studie van Mozart, Beethoven en Haydns strijkkwartetten. - EN - A tight-knit ensemble, musicians who understand each other perfectly. The Novo Quartet has only been together for six years, but it feels as if they’ve had a long career together. During this Piknik concert, they present Dmitri Shostakovich's post-war String Quartet in F major, one of his most characteristic works of which he himself was very satisfied. They present it alongside Robert Schumann's Third String Quartet, part of his only exploration of the genre, bundled in Opus 41. Schumann composed the three string quartets in just five weeks, after an obsessive study of Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn's string quartets.

Quarteto Novo Biography

Quarteto Novo only released one album, yet they number amongst one of the more influential acts in Brazilian music. Originally set up as a trio by a pharmaceutical company who wanted a live band at an event, they were then picked up by Geraldo Vandré (who was, at that time in 1966, the winner of a Brazilian music popularity competition) for a tour of the Brazilian North East. After the tour the trio, comprised of a very young percussionist Airto Moreira, Theo de Barros (bass, composer and subsequent guitarist, solo artist, soundtrack composer, producer, arranger...) and Heraldo do Monte (guitar player who also went on to have a fairly successful career), was joined by multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal - "the most impressive musician in the world" - Miles Davis.

Recorded in 1967, this was the first album for Airto, and was a hugely influential release - mixing the traditional music of North East Brazil with bebop jazz.
