Miaskovsky and Kuhlau

Sarah Walker presents music from the Musiq'3 Chamber Music Festival in Brussels including Miaskovsky's Cello Sonata No 1 and Kulhau's Grande Sonata Concertante for flute and piano.

Sarah Walker presents performances from the Musiq'3 Festival held last summer in Brussels.

Two rarely heard works today. Miaskovsky is a largely overlooked Russian composer, a generation older than Shostakovich, who nonetheless produced a whole string quartet cycle and two cello sonatas of which this one is the first. Friedrich Kuhlau was a Danish contemporary and friend of Beethoven who wrote operas and concertos, but who in chamber music terms had a special affinity for the flute, and this Grande Sonata Concertante is one of his most substantial chamber pieces.
