The cello dances
Live from Wigmore Hall, London, cellist Jean-Guihen-Queyras and pianist Alexandre Tharaud play sonatas by Bach and Debussy, and suites by Marais and Poulenc.
From Wigmore Hall in London. Two French artists - cellist Jean-Guihen-Queyras and pianist Alexandre Tharaud - play a (mostly) French programme with a neo-classical tinge. Bach's jewel-like Sonata in D and a Suite by Marin Marais were both originally written for viola da gamba and harpsichord, while Poulenc's Suite fran莽aise draws on 16th-century dance forms, and Debussy's exquisite sonata summons the spirit of the commedia dell'arte.
Presented by Fiona Talkington.
