Kodály Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7
Franck Sonata in A for Violin and Piano
Schumann Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 63
This concert is made up of three emotionally charged masterpieces in entirely different styles, presented as a trip back through time. Kodály’s 1914 duo turns two string players into an entire folk band, complete with vocalist and percussion, in a technicolour evocation of Hungarian folk style. Franck’s sonata was written in 1886 for Ysaÿe and is perhaps the ultimate masterpiece in high Romantic, cyclic form. Schumann’s turbulent trio, from 1847, is both confessional and passionate in turn.
