New CD out September 2nd

Berlin Staatskapelle String Quartet

The four string section leaders of the Berlin Staatskapelle achieve a remarkable fusion of the great orchestral tradition and the intimate world of chamber music. Violinists Wolfram Brandl and Krzysztof Specjal, violist Yulia Deyneka, and cellist Claudius Popp first performed together as a quartet in 2017, presenting a series of concerts with the complete Schubert quartets in Berlin’s new Pierre Boulez Saal. The idea to form a permanent string quartet came the Staatskapelle’s musical director Daniel Barenboim.

The group’s chamber music partners have included Frans Helmerson, Christiane Karg, Jörg Widmann, Mojca Erdmann, and Elisabeth Leonskaja, with whom they will appear in the current season at the Schubertiade in Schwarzenberg. In 2022 the quartet will also play for the first time in London’s Wigmore Hall. With Daniel Barenboim, they appeared in one of the popular concert broadcasts of radio station WQXR in New York. During the Covid lockdown in 2020, Barenboim and the quartet also performed Schubert’s Piano Quintet as part of Deutsche Grammophon’s “Moment Musical” streaming series.

The group’s repertoire includes music in a broad range of styles, including contemporary works. The four musicians have performed on many of the world’s most famous stages, such as Wigmore Hall in London, the Theatre Champs Élysée in Paris, and the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid. Building on their familiarity with the world of opera, the quartet has explored the chamber music of Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and Puccini, composers known primarily for their operas and symphonic works. In the current season, the group will present a series of programs devoted to the music of Arnold Schoenberg, as well as a project with actor Udo Samel examining the life of Czech composer
Leoš Janáček.

Wolfram Brandl was born in 1975 in Würzburg. At the age of eight he started learning the violin from his father. As a schoolboy he won prizes at the 'Jugend musiziert' competition and was concert-master of the German youth orchestra, Budesjugendorchester. In Würzburg he pursued his studies with Prof. Max Speermann moving on to study in Berlin at the UdK with Prof. Uwe-Martin Haiberg after winning a scholarship from the Jürgen Ponto Foundation.

Before becoming first concert-master of the Berlin State Orchestra in 2011, Wolfram Brandl spent ten years as a first violinist with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra working with Claudio Abbado and then Sir Simon Rattle. This time was crucial to his artistic development.

Wolfram Brandl is also the first violinist of the Scharoun Ensemble made up of members of the Berlin Philharmonic. With this ensemble he has appeared in Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Konzerthaus Vienna, Concertgebouw Amsterdam and numerous other festivals. Through the intensive co-operation between the Scharoun Ensemble and living composers, he has worked closely with Pierre Boulez, Krystof Penderecki, Heinz Holliger, Thomas Ades, Matthias Pintscher, Brett Dean and Jörg Widmann.

Numerous recordings document Brandl's work. Most recently a CD has come out on Deutsche Gramophon with works by Richard Strauss conducted by Barenboim also featuring Anna Netrebko. Brandl plays the violin solo in 'Ein Heldenleben' on this recording.

Since 2014 Krzysztof Specjal is the Principal of the Second Violins at the Staatskapelle Berlin. He also belongs to the String Quartet of the Staatskapelle Berlin, founded in 2016. As a mentor he teaches at the in-house Orchesterakademie of the Staatskapelle Berlin.
Krzysztof Specjal was born into a musical family in Warsaw in 1985. At the age of seven he started playing the violin. After graduating from the music high school in Warsaw with honours he went on to study with Prof. Krzysztof Wegrzyn at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media in Germany. At the same time he was accepted at the distinguished Walter Stauffer Academy in Cremona with Salvatore Accardo. In 2007 he founded a quartet with fellow students with whom he successfully completed his studies of the degree programme “Kammermusik Master” of the Szymanowski Quartet. Following his scholarship to attend the Orchesterakademie of the Staatskapelle Berlin from 2011 to 2012 he joined the Staatskapelle Berlin in 2012. Important sources of artistic inspiration were master classes with Wolfgang Marschner, Hatto Beyerle, Johannes Meissl, Shmuel Ashkenazy and Nam Yun Kim. Scholarships from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the Gundlach Music Prize and the Friedrich-Juergen-Sellheim
Foundation furthered Krzysztof Specjal’s education and made him the sought-after violinist he is today.
As a soloist Krzysztof Specjal played with several Polish symphony orchestras, for example with the Sinfonia Varsovia, as well as internationals, like the Sinfonietta de Paris and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra in Hanoi. Furthermore he performed as a soloist and chamber musician at festivals including the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival, the Zeist Chamber Music Festival, the Braunschweig Classix Festival as well as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. On a regular basis he participates in the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.
Krzysztof Specjal won numerous prizes at international competitions such as the H. Wieniawski Competition in Lublin, the International A. Jampolski Competition in Russia, the ESTA Competition in Denmark and the International Broadcasting Competition Concertino Praga.

Violist Yulia Deyneka was born in Russia in 1982 and studied with Prof. Alexander Bobrovsky at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in her hometown of Moscow until she moved to Germany in 2001. She received a diploma from the Hochschule for Music and Theater in Rostock, where she was a member of Prof. Felix Schwartz’s class, and subsequently completed her Concert Diploma with Prof. Wilfried Strehle at Berlin’s University of the Arts (UdK).

While still a student, Yulia was named principal violist of the Staatskapelle Berlin. As a soloist she has performed with prominent conductors such as Andris Nelsons, Francois-Xavier Roth, Zubin Mehta, and Daniel Barenboim in many of the world’s great concert halls such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Berlin Philharmonie, and the Philharmonie de Paris.

Chamber music is an important part of Yulia’s life. She is a regular guest at international festivals such as Rolandseck, Jerusalem, Annecy, and the Mozart Festival in Salzburg. Her chamber music partners include Guy Braunstein, Daniel Ottensamer, Emmanuel Pahud, Julian Steckel, and Jörg Widmann. She was a founding member of the Berlin Staatskapelle String Quartet, which performed the complete Schubert string quartets for the opening of the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin. These four musicians have attained an international reputation and have performed with such outstanding artists as Elisabeth Leonskaja, Frans Helmerson, and Christiane Karg. Yulia is an enthusiastic advocate of contemporary music. She has been a permanent member of the Boulez Ensemble since its inception, premiering works by composers Aribert Reimann, Jörg Widmann, Olga Neuwirth, Johannes Borowski, Matthias Pintscher, and many others.

With Daniel Barenboim, Yulia shares a longstanding chamber music partnership and a deep commitment to the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, where she has been principal violist and mentor to talented young musicians from the Middle East since 2003. She has taught at the Barenboim-Said Akademie in Berlin since 2016 and has been a full professor there since 2019.

Yulia Deyneka’s playing is documented on a number of CDs and streaming albums. She recorded the viola arrangement of Boulez’s Messagesquisse with Francois-Xavier Roth and the Boulez Ensemble for the Peral label, and in 2018 Deutsche Grammophon released a recording of the Mozart piano quartets in which Yulia can be heard with Kian Soltani, Daniel Barenboim, and Michael Barenboim. The album Soirée from Pentatone features Yulia with Magdalena Kožená and Sir Simon Rattle.
For composer David Coleman’s debut CD for Naxos, Yulia recorded three pieces for viola and piano that are dedicated to her.

In the current season Yulia is looking forward to concerts featuring music outside the mainstream repertoire and to the premiere of a new work, Peter Eötvös’s Respond, with conductor James Gaffigan and the Staatskapelle Berlin. As part of a tribute concert for Paul Hindemith, she will perform his virtuoso solo sonata for viola. She and Daniel Barenboim will present a duo program featuring works by Russian composers. All of these performances will take place in the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin.

Claudius Popp was born in Weimar, Germany in 1982. He began playing the cello at the age of four, receiving instruction from his father, Professor Gotthard Popp, a cellist himself. At age six, his talent became known as he won First Prizes in the prestigious 'Jugend Musiziert' and at the International Cello Competition in Liezen, Austria. Considered a prodigy, he was accepted by Professor Karine Georgian and Heinrich Schiff as a student and continued his studies dually in Detmold, Germany and at the Mozarteum Salzburg, Austria. His precocious musicianship continued to thrive as he pursued advanced studies at the Hochschule for Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin with David Geringas, graduating with a diploma in 2004 and a masters with distinction and honors in 2007. Whilst a student, Claudius continued his winning streak in world competitions, taking top prizes at Tchaikovsky Competition Moscow (2002), Osaka International Music Competition, ARD International Music Competition (Barenreiter Prize), the International Concertino Prague Competition, and the Competition of the Deutsche Musikrat (2003). He is a scholarship holder of the Oscar and Vera Ritter Foundation, Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes and the Werner Richard-Dr. Carl Doerken Foundation.

Claudius made his concerto debut as a soloist at age nine. Since then, he has performed with leading orchestras such as NDR Sinfonie, Berlin Staatskapelle, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg and the Chamber Orchestra of the Berlin Philharmonic, playing in renowned halls such as Berlin Philharmonie, Cologne Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Berlin, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Rudolfinum in Prague, Tchaikovsky Hall and Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, the Tonhalle in Dusseldorf and the Musikforum in Weimar under the baton of greats such as Daniel Barenboim and Eiji Oue.

Claudius is an in demand avid chamber musician as well. He plays throughout Europe's most prestigious festivals including the Rheingau, Mecklenburg Vorpommern, the Schleswig-Holstein, Heidelberg Fruhling, and the Music Festival Cervo. He has held recitals with Elena Bashikrova, Alfredo Perl, Daniel Barenboim, Joerg Widmann and Paul Rivinius.

Through collaboration and performance, he receives artistic direction and aesthetic cues from world acclaimed musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma, Lynn Harrell, Harvey Shapiro and Daniel Barenboim, with whom he enjoys a special working relationship. In 2003, in rather unprecedented fashion, maestro Barenboim made Claudius, who was then only 21 years of age, principal cellist of his home orchestra, Staatskapelle Berlin overnight. Claudius frequently plays chamber concerts with him; while relishing the romantic repertoire for piano and cello, together their concerts insightfully elaborate upon modern music as well. In 2009, the NY Times hailed his interpretation of Elliot Carter's cello sonata, and concluded this ''extremely modern'' piece had become ''entirely accessible'' through his impassioned and dynamic performance, ''a musician that can lend even new music new notes.''
The latest of many collaborations with Daniel Barenboim was a highly successful concert tour with Strauss' Don Quixote in 2014.

Next to his solo and orchestra work, Claudius Popp holds a teaching position at the School of Music 'Hanns Eisler' and the Barenboim-Said Academy in Berlin.
