Francis Poulenc:
Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 143

Henri Dutilleux:
Trois Strophes sur le nom de Sacher (Three Stanzas on the name Sacher)

Cesar Franck:
Violin Sonata in A, M8 (arr. for cello Jules Delsart)

The three works that make up this highly attractive programme span a century: Franck’s sonata in its officially sanctioned transcription for cello was taken from his popular violin sonata of 1886. It was composed as a wedding present for the violinist Ysaye. Dutilleux’s Trois Strophes Sur Le Nom De Sacher was composed for Paul Sacher’s birthday and given its premier by Rostropovich with the composer at the piano. Composition was spread over a decade, having started in 1976. Poulenc’s Cello Sonata was dedicated to Pierre Fournier and completed in 1948.

Michael Petrov and Erden Misirlioglu are members of the acclaimed Trio Isimsiz.
