Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making, including a live concert from London's Wigmore Hall with cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Pavel Kolesnikov. In their programme, Prokofiev鈥檚 Cello Sonata, which was composed in 1949, the year after he was denounced by the Soviet authorities for deviating from the state鈥檚 narrow artistic ideology. And they will play Brahms' dark and introspective Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor Op. 38. Inspired by Bach, it balances lyric warmth with rigorous counterpoint.
Elsewhere in the programme, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1 'Winter Daydreams' is performed by the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Martin Brabbins as part of a week-long exploration of Tchaikovsky's compositions. We will also hear chamber music previously recorded at Wigmore Hall. Today, the ORA Singers sing Jaakko Mantyjarvi, and Veronique Gens performs music by Reynaldo Hahn.
