According to Elizabeth Hartman, a representative of the concert hall “Delfi”, the audience will be able to “recognize the musical landmarks of the trip – Vivaldi’s rhythmic drive and energy, Paganini’s luminescent virtuosity; Puccini’s and Verdi’s La Fenice’s premiere audience will be like a refreshing champagne in the carnival’s temperamental atmosphere. “
The approach of the Latvian / Danish quintet “Carion” to chamber music is confirmed by praised performances at the most prestigious festivals in Europe – Reingava Festival, “Kisingen Summer”, Bonn Beethoven Festival, Bergen Festival, as well as Louisiana Festival and elsewhere. Carion’s discography features five highly rated albums, which have been praised by Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine. These recordings have also received an award from Danish Radio and the title of “Best Classical Music Album 2015” on the iTunes platform.
According to Hartmane, the choice of the ensemble “Carion” repertoire is not limited to one style or era, but covers a wide field of music, arranging the compositions in conceptual similarity. Some of the original compositions have been composed for a wind quintet, most of them – in collaboration with composers and arrangers, including the great forest ranger of the ensemble, David MAP Palmqvist.
