| Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas with James Ehnes | |||
Grammy Award-winning James Ehnes, one of the world’s most sought-after violinists, returns to Sydney to perform Beethoven’s Violin Sonatas with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. This special one-day-only performance will offer audiences the opportunity to experience James’ masterful interpretation of Beethoven in the intimate setting of a recital. Joined by pianist Andrew Armstrong, the duo will explore three of Beethoven’s most famous violin sonatas – amongst the most treasure pieces in the violin repertoire. Beethoven’s Sonata No.1 combines Classical elegance with the vigour, urgency, and brightness we expect of Beethoven. His Sonata No. 5 is gentler, bringing its nickname, ‘Spring’ into full bloom as Ehnes releases its bittersweet and lyrical opening melody. Finally, the mighty Sonata No. 9 is a dizzying display of intricate technique, musical grandeur and raw power, a perfect unison of piano and violin.
