Kwadrofonik Festival: BACH / SILVESTROV / LECHNER

BACH / SILVESTROV / LECHNER
Anja Lechner - cello
 
Hailed by critics as one of the most talented world cellists, Lechner’s musical interests build the bridge over the tradition and modernity, the East and the West, arranged and improvised music. The artist says, she comes from ‘the land of forgotten folk songs’, where childhood melodies are interspersed with pieces by Bach, Schubert and Schumann. 
Lechner calls folk music the source of abundance and inspiration. Her projects frequently unite distant cultures and types of music, and through her relentless pursuit of new musical experiences she tries to make them become her own ones, including them in her repertoire. Thanks to it her performances are not only beautiful, but also authentic. As composer Tigran Mansurian puts it: ‘Anja Lechner’s cello is as a widely open window, welcoming the purest sounds coming from all corners of the world.’
The range of her musical interests is reflected in over twenty albums released by the prestigious ECM Records. She was co-founder and member of Rosemunde Quartett, with which she performed on the most important stages of the world. Lechner cooperates with artists such as Argentinian bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi, Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos (their joint album Chants, Hymns and Dances topped the American classical music charts), François Couturier and members of the Tarkovsky Quartet. Composers such as Tõnu Kõrvits, Tigran Mansurian and Valentin Silvestrov dedicate their pieces to her. During the Festival Anja Lechner will perform compositions by Bach and Silvestrov, along with her own pieces.
