Rafal Blechacz and Bomsori

As part of its Chamber Music Cycle, the Auditorio de  Tenerife presents a concert with pianist Rafal Blechacz and violinist Bomsori. Together, they are to offer a concert full of vitality and contrasts brought together in exquisite balance. In addition to the clarity of form, elegance and compositional maturity of Mozart’s Violin Sonata No. 17 in C Major, K. 296, the duo will interpret Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 7, Op.30, which was written just after the turn of the century and showcases the composer’s astounding maturity, great expressive depth and deeply moving passages. Significantly, just a few months later, Beethoven wrote what is known today as the Heiligenstadt Testament —a letter to his brothers in which he describes his despair over his declining health and increasing deafness. The sonata contrasts with the Slavic lyricism, characteristically lengthy phrasing and overwhelming dramatic intensity of Paderewski’s Sonata In A Minor Op. 13, and especially with the richly impressionistic harmony of Szymanowski’s Nocturne and Tarantella, Op. 28 and its abundant Mediterranean influences: the Nocturne evokes the essence of Spanish music, with the violin marking an Andalusian rhythm strummed on its four strings and the Tarantella advancing with unstoppable energy, fully capturing the spirit of the Neapolitan style.
