It is not an easy task to reimagine a popular and richly scored aria such as Puccini’s Nessun Dorma for a string quartet! Lucian Moraru has reinterpreted the piece for this ensemble and the result is a successful one.

I never expected an arranger to produce a successful arrangement of Verdi Requiem for string quartet, but here it is! As with Nessun Dorma, Moraru hascreated an interesting reinterpretation rather than a strict arrangement.

“Craiova Muzicală”
(5 – 17 decembrie 2022)
De ani buni, de când a intrat pe radarul atenţiei mele, Festivalul Internaţional “Craiova Muzicală” a celor de la Filarmonica ”Oltenia” Craiova a adus câteva nume mari, nume care atrag atenţia şi fac sălile pline.
Şi, printr-o combinaţie de acţiune voluntară şi circumstanţe, nu la aceste spectacole am ajuns, ci la cât mai multe dintre celelalte, aşa-zis mici.
Ediţia 2022 a festivalului nu a făcut excepţia în această privinţă.

REQUIEM – Ingemisco
Giuseppe Verdi, arr. for string quartet by Lucian Moraru
SonArt Edition 2019
by Helen Tuckey
The original Verdi Requiem is the antithesis of a chamber work. There is another earlier arrangement of the well-known Ingemisco (from the Dies Irae) for viola and piano, so this work has been of interest to Moraru for some time.

The famous aria “And the stars were shining” is sung in the opera by Mario Cavaradossi, a painter in love with the singer Tosca, as he awaits his tragic destiny. In this arrangement, which only lasts 36 bars, the first violin plays the role of the spinto tenor (‘con grande sentimento’).

STABAT MATER – Cujus Animam
Gioacchino Rossini, arr. for string quartet by Lucian Moraru
SonArt Edition 2019
by Helen Tuckey
This great tune from a liturgical setting by Rossini traditionally challenges singers to their limits, and no wonder, as it describes the story of Mary with Jesus at the crucifixion. In this version for quartet, after a true Italian operatic style introduction, the spotlight falls on the viola with the big melody, which then ascends to the first violin line.
