Brothers

Grieg and Mendelssohn both had cellist brothers, who inspired two Romantic masterpieces. To mark their 35 years of performing together, Raphael Wallfisch and John York pair these unabashedly exuberant sonatas with two beautiful 20th century works of great personal significance.

Kenneth Leighton was a good friend of Wallfisch and his father, while his student, James MacMillan wrote his first sonata for this very duo. The music of both composers shares a wonderful life-affirming intensity and idiomatic approach to the instruments.

Programme:
Leighton - Alleluia pascha nostrum Op. 85
Mendelssohn - Cello Sonata No. 2 in D, Op. 58
James MacMillan - Cello Sonata No. 1 (1999)
Grieg - Cello Sonata in A minor, Op. 36
