Chamber music visionaries, ambassadors, impresarios, and virtuosos--as co-directors of both Music@Menlo and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han are a ubiquitous presence on both coasts. The energy they bring to their leadership in the arts is matched only by the powerful synergy of their duo performances.
Here, the Cal Performances favorites offer a program spanning more than two-and-a-half centuries, from Bach to John Corigliano, and featuring Debussy's masterful sonata, Chopin's last major work, and a rarely performed Britten sonata composed for Mstislav Rostropovich.
"A terrific chamber music experience...exhibiting clarity of vision and tremendous character" (The Strad).
Program:
BACH Cello Sonata in D major
DEBUSSY Cello Sonata
BRITTEN Cello Sonata
JOHN CORIGLIANO Fancy on a Bach Air for solo cello
CHOPIN Cello Sonata in G minor
