From Mozart to Ravel
The programme opens with Mozart’s Sonata in B-flat major, K. 454, a work distinguished by its graceful dialogue between violin and piano.
Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 2 in D major combines lyrical melodies with rhythmic energy and sharp contrasts. Ernest Bloch’s Baal Shem draws on Jewish musical traditions in three evocative pieces, including the deeply expressive Nigun.
The recital concludes with Ravel’s Tzigane, a brilliant and demanding showpiece inspired by the virtuoso tradition of Hungarian and Romani violin music.
