Work: Cello Sonata no. 2 in G minor, Op.117

Presenting a cello—piano recital of mostly Gallic works spiced up with a contemporary British composition might appear counter-intuitive to most musicians. Not so to Steven Isserlis, who performed an unusual, challenging, inspiring and highly satisfying concert with pianist Connie Shih in Sydney on Monday night.

Philip Higham and Alasdair Beatson performed Beethoven, Schumann, Fauré and Janáček at Haddington's Town House.

Le duo a interprété l'intégrale de la musique pour violoncelle et piano du compositeur français en un unique récital captivant, qui restera dans les mémoires.
