Natalon Kwartet speelt Meandres van Simeon ten Holt
Info
The Natalon Quartet (formerly Rondane Quartet) is set to perform at De Duif two works by the Bergen composer Simeon ten Holt. Pianist Robert Lambermont maintained a close connection with the composer, who noted in his memoirs that Robert understood better than anyone else that performing the evening-length pieces (after Canto Ostinato) requires more than just a few rehearsals or skilled pianists, as it involves a maturation process akin to a challenging conquest.
The pianists of the Natalon Quartet, celebrated for their interpretations of ten Holt's five evening-length compositions for four keyboard instruments, have been playing together for over eighteen years. This experience translates into exceptional and crystal-clear ensemble playing, with four pianos creating a single sound.
Meandres
This is Ten Holt's final major composition. He compared it to a four-track recording that he worked extensively with in the 1970s. Each pianist essentially takes on one track but is allowed to switch between tracks as desired. There is a repetition structure similar to that of Canto Ostinato, but the parts are clearly divided into four layers.
On April 22, the Natalon Quartet will perform Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt.
