Sonata for cello and piano

Two youthful miracles!
Fate reserved quite extraordinary treatment for these two sonatas for cello and piano, two first attempts at the genre that turned out to be masterstrokes – and were both disowned much later by their respective composers. Admittedly, these two youthful sonatas, whose first performances are separated by an interval of twenty-three years, both kept one eye on Brahms and Mendelssohn; but if that fact explains the severity with which Reger and Strauss judged them in retrospect, it should not be allowed to obliterate their remarkable accomplishment, a creativity and sense of balance that are quite simply miraculous. They are now among the undisputed peaks of the repertoire, as are the two lovely Romances which are closely linked with them.

STRAUSS, Richard (1864-1949)

Have you ever dreamed of attending a piano lesson given by Chopin?

By decoding the little-known method written by Chopin and the testimonies of his rare pupils, Pascal Amoyel, himself of Franco-Polish descent, brings him back to life in an imaginary and moving dialogue...

Following the success of his previous one-man shows (Le Pianiste aux 50 doigts, Le Jour où j'ai rencontré Franz Liszt and Looking for Beethoven) in Paris, the rest of France and abroad, this season Pascal Amoyel presents his latest musical, Une leçon de piano avec Chopin: an expert, passionate and sensitive reading of Chopin's First Ballade as a musical treasure imagined and performed by the man who in 2010 was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque in Warsaw by the prestigious Société Chopin for his complete Nocturnes. As a privileged witness to this intimate transmission from master to pupil, the audience is transported by the music and storytelling of the great pianist and Victoire de la Musique winner. A must-see nugget! Find out more
