Across decades and continents, the chamber music power couple of cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han has been plumbing the depths of Beethoven’s five spectacular cello sonatas, rediscovering and reinventing them through each probing and committed performance. The works elevate musical interaction and communication to its highest level, and in some ways, the deeply collaborative repertoire mirrors the duo’s lives as dedicated artistic partners and co-artistic directors of Music@Menlo and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, where vision, dedication, and creative chemistry have made them beloved by audiences on both coasts. “Finckel and Han played with just the right combination of abandon and care, paying as much attention to the dramatic pauses as to the tumultuous cascades and swirling arpeggios” (San Francisco Classical Voice).
This performance is made possible, in part, by the E. Nakamichi Foundation.
Run time for this performance is approximately 2 hours 11 minutes including intermission.
