Steven Isserlis: Romantic Cello

Acclaimed worldwide as one of the leading cellists of his time, Steven Isserlis makes his Houston recital debut in a dramatic program evoking 100 years of romantic music. From 19th-century Romantics Chopin and Schumann -- whose bicentennials Da Camera celebrates this season -- to the 20th-century American composer Samuel Barber, born 100 years ago, we hear the passionate Romantic spirit masterfully expressed within the classical sonata form.

 

Program:

Barber: Sonata in C Minor, Op. 6

Schumann:  Violin Sonata No. 3 in A Minor (arr. Isserlis)

Dohnanyi: Sonata in B-flat Minor for cello and piano, Op. 8

Chopin: Sonata in G Minor, Op. 65

 

Musicians: Steven Isserlis, cello; Denes Varjon, piano

 

“The music world - and music itself - is infinitely richer for the presence of Steven Isserlis.” -­ Gramophone
