Overview
In recent seasons Matthew Polenzani and Julius Drake have developed a partnership of the highest calibre. Their work together continues with a compelling recital that reflects Liszt’s debt to Beethoven and explores Samuel Barber’s love for European culture.
The programme also contains Satie’s wonderfully quirky, deeply touching Trois Mélodies, written in 1916 at a time of bloody stalemate on the Western Front.
