Winner of the first prize at the 2019 Carl Nielsen competition, and this year completing his term as a Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the young Swedish violinist Johan Dalene joins the British Juilliard School graduate pianist Nicola Eimer for a programme of 20th-century music. Following Ravel's jazz-infused Violin Sonata in G, a two-movement work by the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara that was a source for the composer鈥檚 Angel of Light Symphony. The recital concludes with one of Prokofiev's best-loved chamber works, originally written for flute but later arranged for violin by the composer, thanks to the prompting of his close friend, the violinist David Oistrakh, who premiered the work in 1944.
