About This Event
Claude Debussy Cello Sonata Rebecca Clarke Rhapsody Mel Bonis Cello Sonata in F major, Op. 67 César Franck Violin Sonata
This richly expressive programme weaves together four works that blur the lines between Romantic passion and Impressionist colour. Debussy’s Cello Sonata is a masterclass in nuance and atmosphere, blending subtle harmonies with emotional depth. Clarke’s Rhapsody continues in this spirit, combining sweeping lyricism and bold textures, rooted in both late-Romantic and early 20th-century idioms.
Bonis’s Cello Sonata in F major offers warmth and elegance, revealing the voice of a long-overlooked Romantic composer whose music is lyrical and heartfelt. César Franck’s Violin Sonata, though written for a different instrument, resonates throughout the program with its cyclical structure and emotional intensity.
Together, these works form a tapestry of rich sonorities and deep expression, shining a light on the evolving voice of French and Franco-British chamber music at the turn of the century.
