Music at Tresanton (4/4)
Petroc Trelawny introduces performances of Ravel's Violin Sonata in G and Enescu's Second Piano Quintet given by members of Caerus Chamber Ensemble in St Mawes Chapel in Cornwall
Just two works complete Petroc Trelawny's visits to St Mawes Methodist Chapel, Cornwall, where this year's Music at Tresanton took place earlier this month. A gifted violinist, George Enescu, gave the premiere of Ravel's second violin sonata in 1927, with the composer himself at the piano. It took Ravel some four years to write, and it's perhaps the adventurous jazz infused second movement that has come to define this work. Members of Caerus Chamber Ensemble are pairing the sonata today with Enescu's piano quintet, a work from the 1940s, which Enescu dedicated to Faur茅, so it makes a fitting conclusion to this week's series of lunchtime recitals, which have focused on Faur茅 and the younger generations he taught at the Paris Conservatoire.
