Busoni's powerful Violin Sonata
Geneva Lewis plays Busoni's Violin Sonata no.2, a late romantic work seldom heard, which has its roots in the music of Beethoven and in the chorales of Busoni's idol JS Bach.
Geneva Lewis plays Busoni's magnificent Violin Sonata no. 2.
In the early and mid twentieth century Busoni's sonata was played by all the leading violinists of the day. Geneva Lewis, a current member of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme, revives the sonata here in the month which marks the centenary of the composer's death. Also today, Anastasia Kobekina - who plays Dvorak's Cello Concerto with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra at this year's 麻豆社 Proms, delights in Beethoven's variations on a theme by Mozart.
