Steven Isserlis and Alasdair Beatson

Steven Isserlis returns to the JdP with a group of three sonatas, each of which manages to fuse elements of lyricism and of formal dynamism—Bach’s first sonata for viola da gamba, Beethoven’s popular A major Cello Sonata and Steven’s own transcription of the Schumann Third Violin Sonata. The recital concludes with well-loved shorter pieces by Fauré and Schumann.
