‘BBC New Generation Artist’, ‘ECHO Rising Star’, ARD Music Competition prizewinner. After just 5 years, Quatuor Arod’s record looks impressive. They make their deSingel debut with both opera and string quartet. Could any two genres be more different? And yet Zemlinsky’s Second Quartet is a single-act work full of conflict, tension and passion. And it’s based on a true story. Zemlinsky's sister Mathilde cheated on her husband Arnold Schönberg with the painter Gerstl. The inevitable break up drove the latter to suicide. And caused Schönberg to plunge into atonality. To process everything, Zemlinsky achieves the impossible. Schönberg is transformed into his own cello, brother and sister become the violin, and Gerstl the viola. This musical drama was designed to win back his estranged friend Schönberg. On both a musical and a human level.
