Chamber Music Festival: Men Who Feel Love

Love runs like a red thread through this concert at the Chamber Music Festival. In the summer refectory of Stift Rein in Styria, cello and piano come together in works by Ludwig van Beethoven that are entirely devoted to the feeling of affection. On August 30, Reinhard Latzko and Philipp Scheucher will present an evening that retells familiar melodies and gives them space for subtle nuances. The starting point is variations on themes that many will recognize: from Handel's oratorio "Judas Maccabaeus" as well as from Mozart's "The Magic Flute." Particularly, the theme "Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen" is at the center, clearly connecting music and content. The program is complemented by the Sonatas for Piano and Cello No. 2 in G minor, Op. 5 No. 2, and No. 3 in A major, Op. 69. These works showcase Beethoven in a relatable light: calm, searching, sometimes playful. In the historical setting of Stift Rein, the sounds unfold warmly and directly. The combination of architecture, sound, and theme creates a special atmosphere. Between quiet moments and lively passages, a concert emerges that focuses entirely on the essentials. Tickets are available online. An evening for all who appreciate chamber music, Beethoven, and the serene atmosphere of the Graz experience region.
