Jón Leifs Isländische Tänze aus op. 11 «Rimnadaslog» (Fassung für Streichquartett)
Nordischer Folk aus skandinavischen Ländern
A string quartet consisting of musicians from the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich delves into Nordic and Icelandic soundscapes and shows how art music and folk music can be connected. Edvard Grieg's second string quartet provides an insight into Norwegian chamber music. The concert then takes a new turn: The musicians move on to folk music. After two Swedish traditionals, they present the "Icelandic Dances" op. 11 by the Icelander Jón Leifs. But the dances are not enough: in the second part, the folk band WestNordOst performs Nordic folk music from various Scandinavian countries at the highest level. Will anyone in the audience be able to keep their feet still?
