klang Festival Concerts in Meggen - IMPRESSIONS | 20th Anniversary
We’re celebrating—thanks to you, our dear audience. 20 years of “klang”—a tradition that moves, connects, and endures.
Three compositions, three musical worlds: Mozart’s early String Quartet K. 155 captivates with its youthful freshness, clarity, and joy of playing. Bernard Herrmann’s “Souvenirs de Voyage” transports listeners to atmospheric soundscapes, blending the subtlety of chamber music with cinematic expressiveness. Finally, Weber’s Clarinet Quintet delights with virtuosic brilliance, melodic richness, and romantic warmth. A diverse program spanning classical music, visual imagery, and romanticism.
Program:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756–1791
String Quartet No. 2 in D major, K. 155
Bernard Herrmann 1911–1975
Clarinet Quintet “Souvenirs de Voyage” *
Carl Maria von Weber 1786–1826
Clarinet Quintet in B-flat major, Op. 34
* If you’re not familiar with Bernard Herrmann: His work is a wonderful, heartfelt chamber music piece characterized by melancholy and deep nostalgia. The music is imbued with a delicate, impressionistic flair reminiscent of the spirit of Claude Debussy. If you search online, you’ll come across his famous score for Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Psycho.” But this clarinet quintet isn’t in that style; rather, as described above, it is lyrical and very sensitive.

Alma Quartet
Marc Daniel von Biemen – violin
Benjamin Peled – violin
Jeroen Woudstra – viola
