About This Event

A triptych of 20th-century sonatas by Saint-Saëns, Dutilleux and Poulenc forms the heart of this Anglo-French programme. The cool lines of Saint-Saëns’s neo-Classical sonata give way to the edgier, mercurial beauty of Dutilleux’s, while the Poulenc pays musical homage to its dedicatee, Sergey Prokofiev, ending with a ravishing lament. Eugene Bozza’s lyrical Fantaisie pastorale and Ruth Gipps’s vivid Sea-Shore Suite complete the recital.

There will be no interval
