Music Matters: Franck & Brahms Violin Sonatas at La Grua Center
Event Details
Daniel Kurganov, violin
Constantine Finehouse, concert grand by Erard, Paris (1882)
Franck & Brahms Violin Sonatas
Johannes Brahms Sonata No. 1 in G, Op. 78 (1879)
César Franck Sonata in A (1886)
Sheer lyricism and its fabulous dramatic power made the Franck sonata the chamber music icon it is today. Here, paired with Brahms’ G-major violin sonata, the first of his three such works, this incomparable masterpiece affords us ringing proof of the enduring appeal of Romantic repertoire at its finest. Two acclaimed Boston chamber musicians – violinist Daniel Kurganov and returning pianist Constantine Finehouse - team up with the lyrical, transparent 1882 Erard concert grand for a chamber afternoon we’ll long remember. La Grua’s celebrated acoustic will simply purr!
