Our Next Concert
Boglárka György, violin & Amy Butler, piano: Sunday 6th September at 3pm
The scintillating duo that performed Beethoven’s “Spring” Sonata so memorably for us in 2024 make a welcome return to play his passionate “Kreutzer” Sonata. Alongside this our celebration of Bruno Walter continues with his only sonata, inspired by, and modelled on, the Beethoven, and with works from the two composers Walter most admired. He made the first commercial recording of Mahler’s Symphony No.5 with the NYPO in 1947. Its poignant Adagietto, made famous by Visconti’s film Death in Venice, sounds wonderful as a delicate duet in this sensitive arrangement. Mozart’s sonata K301 is his first masterpiece in the genre, with a gorgeous lilting waltz as a finale.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Sonata No. 18, G Major, K. 301
Bruno Walter: Violin Sonata in A major
Gustav Mahler (arr. Otto Wittenbecher): Adagietto from Symphony No. 5
Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Opus 47
