The virtuosity and expressiveness of the violin and cello shine in this musical journey, where late Romanticism meets the avant-garde of the 20th century.
The Sonata for Solo Cello, op. 8 by Zoltán Kodály, written in 1915 and first performed in 1918, is a visionary work combining Hungarian folk heritage with bold modernity. With its rich harmonies, asymmetric rhythms, and innovative techniques, this Sonata imposes an emotional intensity that surpasses the traditional limits of the cello.
The Solo Violin Sonatas, op. 27 no. 1 and no. 3 by Eugène Ysaÿe, composed in 1923, embody the transition between late Romanticism and freer expressiveness. Inspired by Bach, Sonata no. 1 combines contrapuntal rigor with romantic harmonic richness. Sonata no. 3, “Ballade”, stands out with its poignant lyricism and improvisational character, offering dazzling virtuosity.
Through these masterpieces, Kodály and Ysaÿe celebrate the expressive power of solo string instruments, opening up a sound universe as captivating as it is timeless.
