About this Event
Natalie Clein & Marianna Shirinyan
Enjoy lush melodies and impassioned rhapsodies in a dramatic programme of cello masterpieces.
Natalie Clein has been a familiar name since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 1994. The following year saw her first appearance at Turner Sims, as a guest with the Allegri String Quartet. Since then, she has pursued a distinguished career performing with the top orchestras and conductors around the world.
Natalie’s programme with pianist Marianna Shirinyan features three masterpieces for the cello. Alongside Brahms’ two large-scale sonatas is the solo sonata by Hungarian composer Kodály. Kodály’s work is one of the most technically challenging in the cello repertoire.
Brahms Cello Sonata No 1 in E minor, Op 38
Kodály Sonata for solo cello, Op 8
Joseph Joachim Hebräische Melodien for Viola and Piano, Op 9 (arr. Natalie Clein)
Brahms Cello Sonata No 2 in F, Op 99
