SEQUENCE:4
DESCRIPTION:In 1802\, at a moment of deep despair over the irreversible ad
 vance of deafness\, Ludwig van Beethoven writes to his brothers a text tha
 t will remain hidden until after his death — the so-called 'Heiligenstad
 t Testament'. More than a farewell\, this is a harrowing confession of iso
 lation\, humiliation and resistance. However\, the text ends with a firm m
 oral resolution: to continue living 'for Art'. The first of the three Razu
 movsky quartets\, Op.59 No. 1\, and the first composed after this dramatic
  period\, arises precisely in this circumstance. The monumentality of the 
 work coexists with moments of painful introspection\, as if the human tens
 ion revealed in the testament found a musical parallel here. Still\, at th
 e heart of this quartet there is a certain luminous and ethereal quality t
 hat conveys hope and reaffirms the desire to live. Between lyricism\, hero
 ism and restlessness\, this quartet demonstrates Beethoven's ability to tr
 ansform personal crisis into artistic creation of universal dimension. For
 med by Alexis Hatch\, Vicente Sobral\, Irma Skenderi and Irene Lima\, the 
 Quarteto Alma Nova emerges driven by this creative force of rebirth and lo
 ve of art of which Beethoven is one of the greatest examples. With differe
 nt paths in leadership roles in Portugal's main orchestras\, the four musi
 cians find in the string quartet a space for listening\, vulnerability and
  artistic reinvention. Concert commented by Pedro Wallenstein. Accessibili
 ty: Session with Audio Description.
