Given the uncertainties of the global pandemic, HKU MUSE’s highly anticipated ‘Complete Beethoven String Quartet Cycle’ with the acclaimed Belcea Quartet will not take place in 2020. The set of 6 concerts originally scheduled for November was meant to be a landmark celebration for the composer’s 250th anniversary and we know this is disappointing for Hong Kong music lovers. But while we are working hard to reschedule the concerts, Belcea’s violist Krzysztof Chorzelski spoke to us virtually.
In this conversation hosted by Prof. Daniel Chua, Krz will share how the group cope with the unprecedented challenges, what the Beethoven Cycle means to them, and why these emotions need to be recognized especially during this tough time. He will tell us about his first encounter with Beethoven’s quartet at a CD shop in East Berlin years ago, as well as reflect fondly on their time with their mentors, the great Alban Berg and Amadeus Quartets.
A podcast version of this dialogue is available on various platforms and an accompanying playlist featuring the music discussed is available on Spotify.
因疫情關係﹐古典樂迷熱熾期待的貝爾琪亞《貝多芬弦樂四重奏全集》將無法於今年如期舉行。原定的六場音樂會﹐是港大繆思樂季慶祝貝多芬誕辰250週年的重點節目之一，我們都同樣感到非常失望。容我們在安排音樂會延期的同時﹐率先請來樂團的中提琴手赫爾徹斯基和大家在網上見面。他將分享這套作品對每位團員的意義﹑回首學習的心路歷程，以及在這非常時期，作品蘊含的情感如何添上更深層次的共鳴。
