Classical Sheffield: Cello Sonatas
To launch Classical Weekend 2023, Ensemble 360 presents a recital of Beethoven’s virtuosic music for cello and piano.
These two early works for piano and cello are the perfect introduction to the unique musical mind of Beethoven. Breaking out of the established formula of simple keyboard accompaniment for a solo instrument, Beethoven broke the mould by creating works in which the two instruments were true equals: in conversation and competition, wrestling and supporting one another to create dazzling musical journeys that remain thrillingly fresh and deeply moving.
