Chamber music of the most exciting kind
It is no surprise that Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Fazıl Say have been friends for many years, as the violinist and the pianist share a similar interpretive approach: both like to uncompromisingly bring out the rough edges of the seemingly most polished repertoire pieces, sparing neither themselves nor their audiences, and also like to lead them into unheard-of marginal zones of the repertoire. They bring all these qualities to bear when they once again perform together at the Wiener Konzerthaus - for the first time since 2014, by the way. The program includes three violin sonatas from the late Romantic and early Modern periods: Leoš Janáček's only violin sonata, composed at the beginning of the First World War, betrays the opera composer in its terse and bizarrely gripping style. In his intimately singing third and last violin sonata, Johannes Brahms once again refers to the Csárdás romanticism that had been familiar to him since his early encounter with the Hungarian violinist Ede Reményi. Béla Bartók, on the other hand, who is regarded as the discoverer of »authentic« Hungarian folk music, produced one of his most radical expressionist pieces with the First Violin Sonata. The fact that it is also one of his most virtuosic makes it the brilliant final piece of an evening in which Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Fazıl Say show themselves from their most exciting side.
