Chopin and his Europe (3/4)
Chopin and his Europe: the Belcea Quartet perform Mozart's String Quartet No 23, and Yulianna Avdeeva plays Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata and Chopin's Nocturne No 20.
Chopin and his Europe: Sarah Walker continues her series this week exploring performances recorded last summer at Poland's month-long music festival. On the bill today Rachmaninov's emotionally intense Piano Sonata no. 2, begun in Rome in 1913 and completed back in Russia the following year. Yulianna Avdeeva plays the revised version, Rachmaninov having declared that: "Even in this Sonata so many voices are moving simultaneously, and it is so long. Chopin鈥檚 Sonata lasts nineteen minutes and all has been said.鈥 Also today, the Belcea Quartet play one of Mozart's 'Prussian' Quartets.
