Two of today\u2019s most compelling cellists meet in a recital built around the extraordinary emotional power of the Romantic cello. Aleksey Shadrin takes on Grieg\u2019s only Cello Sonata, a sweeping work of Nordic lyricism, passion and dramatic energy, before Camille Thomas brings her distinctive voice to Brahms\u2019 First Sonata\u2014one of the great pillars of the cello repertoire, where profound intimacy meets the architectural grandeur of Bach.
\nAfter these two Romantic masterpieces, Thomas offers an unexpected epilogue with Philip Glass\u2019 hauntingly beautiful Truman Sleeps. Its luminous simplicity leaves the music suspended between memory and dream\u2014a contemporary echo of the same intimacy and longing heard in Grieg and Brahms more than a century earlier. Three works, two exceptional artists and one of the cello\u2019s greatest strengths: its ability to make the most deeply felt emotions sound almost human.
\nImmediately following the concert, Camille Thomas will meet audiences for a signing of her latest album dedicated to the music of Philip Glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
