The regular duo joins forces once again for a programme including Mendelssohn’s violin sonata which was lost until it was revived in the 1950s by Yehudi Menuhin. Prokofiev originally wrote the 5 Melodies as vocalises for the Ukrainian soprano Nina Koshetz in 1920 but recomposed them in 1925 as miniatures for violin and piano. The evening ends with Franck’s buoyant Sonata in A, written in 1886 as a wedding present for the virtuoso violinist Eugène Ysaÿe.
