Augustin Hadelich & Charles Owen
Intense. One word that perfectly sums up Augustin Hadelich's concerts. Intense expression. Intense, vibrating colours. And above all, an intense, hypnotic singing tone. What Hadelich conjures up with his Stradivarius will thrill you to the core. Not yet thirty, he is already on the shortlist of today's top young violinists. His sharp mind and stylistic refinement will certainly be in evidence in this recital, which features the absolute highpoints of the violin repertoire.
The typical fragility of Beethoven's early romantic Sonata in D will be in good hands with Hadelich. As will be the broad lyrical breath of Ysaÿe's Sixth Sonate and the swirling passion of Schumann's First Violin Sonata. He will then be drawing out the many emotional layers in Janácek's Sonata, bathing in the colours of his opera 'Katja Kabanova'. Finally, Hadelich will be displaying his more light-hearted side, in a number of tango-inspired pieces that André Previn composed for Anne-Sophie Mutter. Things don't have to be serious all the time.
