SUMMARY:Misha Quint\, Cello; Alexei Volodin\, Piano at Carnegie Hall
DESCRIPTION:Performers\nMisha Quint\, Cello\nAlexei Volodin\, Piano \nProgram\nDAVYDOV Romance sans paroles\, Op.23\nSCHUBERT Sonata in A Minor\, D. 821\, “Arpeggione”\nFELIX MENDELSSOHN Song Without Words in D Major\, Op. 109\nRACHMANINOFF Cello Sonata in G Minor\nRACHMANINOFF Vocalise\, Op. 34\, No. 14 (transcr. Rose)\nROSTROPOVICH Humoresque\, Op. 5 \nThe concert will begin from Romance without Words\, a piece written by Karl Dadvidov\, a monumental cello virtuoso of the 19th century\, with sweet and charming melodies. It will end with the music of of the 20th century icon of cello playing\, Mstislav Rostropovich\, with his Humoresque. These two pieces create a foundation for a bridge made of masterpieces of the cello and piano repertoire at the concert. \nThat spirit will continue in Franz Schubert’s Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano. Originally written for the now-extinct arpeggione\, a hybrid instrument that was part guitar and part bowed strings\, this sonata is now only played on the cello\, which allows the work to take on new warmth and depth. \nFelix Mendelssohn’s Song without Words is next\, which gave inspiration for the program theme. When Mendelssohn’s friend\, Marc-André Souchay\, tried to compose words to the music\, the composer objected\, saying: \nThere is so much talk about music\, and yet so little said…With me it is exactly the reverse\, and not only with regard to an entire speech\, but also with individual words. These seem to me so ambiguous\, so vague\, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words. \nAt the heart of the program is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Sonata for Cello and Piano\, written after the composer experienced a severe bout of depression\, and premiered with Rachmaninoff at the piano with his friend Antoliy Brandukov in 1901. Sonata is notable for treating piano and cello as equal soloists. Its thick chordal structure and use of the full range of both instruments allow for an intensity imitative of the dynamic expression only found in symphony orchestra performances. \nIn Rachmaninoff’s haunting Vocalise\, originally written for wordless human voice\, the cello and piano will recreate this familiar melody with profound emotional intensity without language. \nRostropovich’s Humoresque is a perfect ending for the evening’s journey. This virtuosic\, almost acrobatic piece is perfect for the duo\, written as a birthday gift for Rostropovich’s teacher and famously learned overnight—showcasing brilliance\, agility\, and playful spirit. \nAll together with this romantic program in the setting of Carnegie Hall with two international performers\, Songs Without Words is a night you can’t miss.
