Kodály: Sonata for solo cello, op. 8
Brahms: Cello Sonata No. 2 in F major, op. 99

In this special concert, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Jacqueline Du Pre Music Building, we are thrilled to welcome the great British cellist, Natalie Clein, for a programme of music by the Hungarian composer, Zoltán Kodály, and Johannes Brahms, whose music also betrays at times the influence of Hungarian music. Kodály’s extraordinary early solo cello sonata, written in the composer’s thirties and set in three large movements, is one of the pinnacles of the instrument’s solo repertoire. Brahms’s rhapsodic F major sonata, written thirty years earlier in 1886, arguably sets new standards in the composer’s work for the close interaction of solo instrument and piano.

Natalie will also give a masterclass at 2pm - see below to book.
