Info zu Reflection

Das Duo Tamsin Waley Cohen und Huw Watkins erkundet ein Programm für Violine und Klavier, das vier Generationen musikalischer Fantasie umfasst. Prokofjews Sonate in f-Moll besticht durch ihre dramatische Intensität und barockinspirierte Klarheit. Strawinskys Duo Concertant verzaubert mit fünf lyrischen Musikgedichten, die Witz, Eleganz und klassische Gelassenheit vereinen. Knussens „Reflection“, geschrieben für Waley-Cohen und Watkins, lässt die Zuhörer in eine juwelenartige Welt voller Farben und Introspektion eintauchen, in der jede Note bewusst platziert ist. Watkins' Violinsonate verbindet moderne Lyrik mit Ausbrüchen erdiger Vitalität und schafft so einen Dialog subtiler Kontraste.
