成人快手

成人快手 Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Johan Dalene, performs two major violin sonatas with pianist Charles Owen, live from the Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham. Poulenc鈥檚 sonata was composed in Nazi occupied France and exudes rage, tragedy and profound sadness. He dedicated it to the murdered Spanish poet, Federico Garc铆a Lorca. Grieg鈥檚 third sonata was the composer鈥檚 favourite, and he performed it often. The two urgent outer movements frame a meltingly beautiful middle section. Johan and Charles also perform Boulanger鈥檚 miniature evocation of a spring morning; full of restless, vibrant energy. Presented live by Ian Skelly.
