Noa Wildschut (violin) and Elisabeth Brauß (piano) - Brahms, Liszt and Ravel - Artist in residence

Vioolsonate
Elisabeth Brauß (piano) Noa Wildschut (viool)
  • I. Allegro con fuoco
  • II. Intermezzo
  • III. Presto tragico
Poulenc had little use for solo strings, he once told me. Yet with this Violin Sonata, he wrote one of his most intense compositions, which he dedicated to the murdered Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. The dramatic climax in the last movement - presto tragico - seems to refer literally to Lorca's execution.
Vioolsonate nr. 2, 1927
Elisabeth Brauß (piano) Noa Wildschut (viool)
  • I. Allegretto
  • II. Blues. Moderato
  • III. Perpetuum mobile. Allegro
George Gershwin had already bridged the gap between American jazz and classical music in 1924 with his Rhapsody in Blue. Three years later, Ravel did the same with his Violin Sonata. Ravel called the slow middle movement "Blues.

Hungarian violinist Zoltán Székely, who lives in the Netherlands, created this beautiful version of the Romanian Dances for violin and piano. Together with Bartók, he played the world premiere at Arnhem's Musis Sacrum.
La leggiereza
Elisabeth Brauß (piano)
Translated into Dutch, La leggeriezza means as much as "The lightness. And that is exactly what makes this etude by Liszt so challenging. Despite all the technical difficulties, the piece should sound as light as possible.

Hongaarse dansen (sel.)

Like Liszt did in his Hungarian rhapsodies, Brahms incorporated music of the Roma into his Hungarian dances. It earned Brahms one of his best-known compositions.

Some musicians seem predestined for each other, so well do they feel for each other on stage. This is certainly true of star violinist Noa Wildschut and pianist (and artist in residence) Elisabeth Brauß. "A fantastic experience," is how Elisabeth describes her collaboration with Wildschut. With, among others, Brahms' Hungarian Dances and Ravel's Second Violin Sonata (the one with the famous 'Blues'), they spur each other on and challenge each other. The outcome is a foregone conclusion: breathtaking playing at the cutting edge.
