Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Violin Sonata no. 1 in D major, Op.12 no.1

Rescheduled from February, Joshua Bell and Daniil Trifonov's Carnegie Hall recital drew an extra sense of anticipation.

On his current Australian tour, the indefatigable Pinchas Zukerman seems to cherish playing a different programme in every venue. He appeared with his own chamber ensemble, the Zukerman Trio in Sydney, partnered with two Canadian musicians, Amanda Forsyth (cello), and Angela Cheng (piano).

Capturing the feistiness and humour of these sonatas perfectly, Catherine Leonard and Hugh Tinney give a revealing and outstanding performance of three Beethoven Violin Sonatas.
