Alexandre Kantorow and Daniel Lozakovich perform Franck and Schumann

The two stars, respectively nicknamed "tsar of the piano" and "prince of the violin," begin the evening with Franck's Violin Sonata, one of the most performed and recorded works in the piano-violin repertoire. Complex and fascinating, beguiling and mysterious, and a possible inspiration for the famed Vinteuil Sonata in Proust's In Search of Lost Time, the Franck Sonata sounds both ahead of its time and—with its unique harmonic vocabulary and singular atmosphere—utterly timeless. The marvelous Kantorow and Lozakovich bring their evening to a poignant end with Schumann, whose Violin Sonata No. 1 in A Minor brims with passion and melancholy.
