The programme will open with Arnold Bax’s romantic and lyrical viola sonata, a three-movement work with its central scherzo movement evoking an Irish dance. Written in the winter of 1921/22, it is dedicated to the English violist Lionel Tertis, and draws much of its inspiration from Celtic folk melodies. Two sean-nós melodies will follow, and the programme will conclude with Hindemith’s last sonata for viola and piano. This substantial, four-movement work comprises an ardent, emotionally rich first movement, followed by a powerful scherzo and a dramatic and rhapsodic “Phantasie”, concluding with a set of two variations culminating in a triumphant finish.This promises to be an exciting, engaging and wonderfully varied recital, given by two instrumentalists of the highest calibre.
