American cellist Alisa Weilerstein has captivated audiences across the world with her impassioned musicianship and idealistic sense of mission. She is as celebrated for inspiring new music as she is for refreshing the Romantic canon.
In this programme, she is joined by pianist David Mareček for a Czech-inflected evening, combining Janáček’s enchanted fairy-tale Pohadka and Dvořák’s dreamy Silent Woods, with the bolt of colour that is Debussy’s sonata, completed by Franck’s paen to love.
