Coffee Concert Brahms Violin Sonatas II

Coffee Concert Brahms Violin Sonatas II: performed by Chloë Hanslip (Violin), Danny Driver (Piano) playing Medtner; Sonata No 1 in B minor Op 21; Brahms; Sonata No 1 in G major Op 78; F-A-E Scherzo in C minor WoO 2 at Holy Trinity Church, Haddington on Wed 16 Sept 11am as part of the Lammermuir Festival. Chloë and Danny complete their Brahms sonata series with the mellow, lyrical G major sonata. They begin with a fine late romantic work by the Russian-born, Brahms-admiring Nikolai Medtner who, to his great annoyance, was once labelled 'the Russian Brahms', mostly because of his German ancestry. His musical voice is, however, very much his own.
