Ysayë and Schulhof: Violin and Cello masterpieces
About
Esteemed Melbourne violinist Jaso Sasaki and cellist Rosanne Hunt will present rarely performed yet exquisite solo sonatas by Ysayë, and then combine for the ravishing Schulhof duo, full of profound melodic lines as well as earthy folk themes.Eugène-Auguste Ysaÿe (1858 – 1931) was a Belgian virtuoso violinist, composer and conductor, regarded as The King of the Violin. Erwin Schulhof (1894-1942) was one of the most popular Czech composers of his time, but his premature death in the Wülzburg concentration camp in 1942 signalled the almost total erasure of his work from music history.
Finnish violinist Jaso Sasaki is renowned in his own right as a virtuoso player and he performs widely in Melbourne. Rosanne Hunt is a well-known Melbourne cellist with an eclectic career embracing early music and contemporary repertoire and everything in between.
