Eugène Ysaÿe – Mazurka No. 3 in B minor, Op. 11 ‘Lointain passe’, and Au rouet, Op. 13
Manuel de Falla – Suite Populaire Espagnole
Ottorino Respighi – Violin Sonata in B minor
Natalia Lomeiko (violin), Sarah Watkins (piano)
An evening of expressive flair and European colour, beginning with two of legendary violinist Eugène Ysaÿe’s miniatures – Mazurka No. 3 ‘Lointain Passé’, a nostalgic nod to the dance forms of the past, and Au rouet, which spins an intricate and delicate thread of French lyricism. We travel south for de Falla’s Suite Populaire Espagnole, which brings Spanish folk melodies to life with fiery charm. Rounding out the programme is Respighi’s impassioned Violin Sonata in B minor, rich with late-Romantic intensity and Italian warmth.
