The British duo, who performed together in our June 2020 special broadcast series, returns to the Wigmore stage for a programme that begins with a sonata by Soviet composer and teacher Dmitry Kabalevsky, one of the founding members of the Union of Soviet Composers in Moscow. The programme continues with the fairy-tale imagery of Janáček’s Pohádka and Shostakovich’s dramatic First Sonata of 1934.
