Work: 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. 

There can be no better reason to see a concert of Beethoven than to be offered a fresh point of view; Julia Fischer and Igor Levit did just that.

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).
