  • Den Haag: CD presentation concert

    Paleiskerk Paleisstraat 8, 's-Gravenhage

    with pianist Tobias Borsboom Presentation of our new cd with cello-piano works by Franck, Debussy, Boulanger and Vermeulen. We delve into the world of the Société Nationale de Musique in this programme of late-romantic and early modern French chamber music. César Franck’s Sonata for Violin and Piano was transcribed, with the composer’s approval, by Jules Delsart. Nadia Boulanger’s Trois Pièces for cello and piano date from 1914. These lyrical and playfully virtuosic works are proof of the master pedagogue's extraordinary talent for composition. Debussy’s Sonata for Cello and Piano conjures up images of nocturnal encounters, in a form and proportions that are almost classical. A performance of this Sonata in Amsterdam in 1918 after Debussy’s death inspired Dutch composer Matthijs Vermeulen to write a cello sonata of his own. Shortly after, Vermeulen moved to France, where he would work as a journalist and keep composing until after the Second World War. With seven symphonies and a wide array of chamber music works to his name, we present Vermeulen's Sonate pour violoncelle et piano here.
