The magic tree of classical music grew for 40,000 years, providing the sweet and – also – the bitter fruits of its own evolution. From the branches of antiquity the Renaissance was born. From the backstage shadows the harpsichordist has metamorphosed into the front stage conductor. From the knight’s castle hall chamber music has come (down) to the big symphony hall. From the subconscious love-hate relation with R. Strauss and gipsy music the unshakable values of Bartók have issued forth. His Quintet contains all the keys to the doors of his future secret gardens, and all the makings of an excessive, passionately post-Romantic and courageously beautiful piece of music.

Stalin, the great gardener of the soul, was gone, but his shadow was still in the air. Tikhon Khrennikov, the boss of the USSR composers’ union and one of his worthy acolytes was around to make everything impossible but very important. He had some encouraging words for young Alfred Schnittke, protégé of Shostakovich. “He lacks all talent for writing music and should not compose.”
