Maria Włoszczowska and Dénes Várjon meet in Beethoven’s intense Violin Sonata in C minor, a work full of drama, power and restless energy, before the Engegård Quartet reveals a lighter and more elegant side of the young composer. After the interval, Pierre Xhonneux, Amy Norrington and Dénes Várjon take the stage for the Gassenhauer Trio, named after an operatic tune that became a popular hit in the streets of Vienna.
