Ensemble Vienna-Berlin

Description:

The Ensemble Wien is a string quartet with two violins, a viola and a double bass, which is unique in today's world. The ensemble, led by the Vienna Philharmonic's first female concertmaster, Danailova, performed Mozart's famous operatic melodies and J. Strauss waltzes and polkas live in Tokyo in 2013. The ensemble easily transcends the boundary between "art music" and "entertainment music," and conveys the joy and charm of music itself. ＜Ensemble Wien is a popular "unique" ensemble with a double bass instead of a cello. The word "unique" does not mean just a difference in sound, but this form is also "original," as in Mozart's Divertimento and Haydn's early string quartets. The quartet performs a high quality program of captivating pieces by Schubert, Lanner, Strauss and his son, including Vienna Waltzes, Polkas, Lentler, German Dances, Minuets, and arrangements for the Ensemble Wien.The three members, excluding the contrabassist, are top players in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
