About the programme

In this concert, the proverbial three "Bs" of music history – Bach, Beethoven and Brahms – face some competition from four "Ms": Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Messager, Mustonen and Mozart.

The programme opens with the short, melancholic String Symphony No. 10 by the fourteen-year-old Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It consists of a single movement, structured as a slow introduction followed by an Allegro.

The rocking rhythms of André Messager's small character piece Barcarolle have been enjoying a renaissance in music salons and concert halls worldwide since the rediscovery of the version for cello and strings.

Wholly new sounds will be heard at the world premiere of Olli Mustonen’s Partita, a commission for CAMERATA BERN and Artistic Partner Steven Isserlis.

W.A. Mozart's String Quintet in G minor closes the circle of "Ms" and "Bs": his work from 1787 later went on to influence Johannes Brahms.
