Britten Cello Sonata, Op 65
A beautiful programme of music for cello and piano by Beethoven, Bridge and Benjamin Britten is performed by the brilliant brother-and-sister duo from ‘Britain’s most musical family’ (The Times).
Few instrumentalists have built such a formidable reputation more quickly than the Kanneh-Masons, each with a classical chart-topper under their belt and still in their early twenties. But this beautifully-conceived programme finds them reunited, doing what they do best – playing chamber music with unparalleled empathy and understanding.
These are sophisticated choices, with Beethoven’s C major sonata offering a first taste of his transcendent late style – a true duo, in every sense. The glistening light and ominous shade of Britten’s haunted late cello music is explored alongside his complex relationship with his teacher Frank Bridge – music of spring-like freshness and startling depth, performed by two young artists with their own unbreakable bond.
