Strauss: Metamorphosen (septet) / Gabetta, Smirnov, Chang, Mönkemeyer, Ridout, Laferrière, M. Botana

My heart almost stopped at the end of the piece. Public in complete silence after this performance of this incredible string players. A total Wow. As a bass player I find Uxia Martinez limitless. Never heard a Strauss with such a fragility and poetry on the bass sound. It's mostly played with very thick and "healthy" sound, which looses the meaning of the piece. CHAPEAU TO THIS GROUP! and to uxia of whom I'm a fan.

Dans ma jeunesse, bien que grand amateur de Richard Strauss, je n'étais pas friand de ce morceau. Un des quelques cadeaux qui sont parfois conférés par le vieillissement, est la valorisation de « choses » qui exigent de la bouteille. Tel est le cas, pour moi, des « Métamorphoses ». Et cette magnifique interprétation par cet ensemble facilite encore cette conversion. Merci au Festival de Solsberg et à ses musiciens pour cette très belle offrande.

A superb arrangement! The sonority and depth of the original is really cleverly maintained so one never feels the loss of the larger forces. Yet somehow the piece seems to gain from the greater intimacy and flexibility of a septet. Exquisite playing from everyone, A joy to hear one of my all-time favourite works played so finely. Thank you.

It's not an arrangement, it's actually the first edition of the piece by Strauss himself!

Fantastic music! I have learned this music with Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, and now I hear it with only seven musicians. Different but also good. Amazing how this music can be so well articulated with only seven musicians. Thank you all!

Precision, articulation, passion, communication ... and the work of a great composer. This made my week. Mille grazie.

Masterly!

No me gusta, me desorganiza, me resultan sonidos sueltos desconectados, solo disfrutable cuando termina. Disculpas

[@dimodin2729]

The nature has much “solo disfrutable”, sounds of surf for example…

[@alejandrofernandez8393]

Coincido plenamente con tu apreciación.Yo tambíen pido disculpas pero no lo he disfrutado. Y no tiene nada que ver con los músicos que son excelentes.
