Woodend Winter Arts Festival: Kreisler & Rachmaninov

Extraordinary Australian pianist Simon Tedeschi returns to Woodend with special guest and Sydney Symphony concertmaster, Andrew Haveron, to pay homage to one of the early 20th century’s great duo partnerships: Kreisler and Rachmaninov. Recreating part of a concert program performed and recorded by these two giants of classical music’s history, Simon and Andrew share their admiration for two of their heroes with two great sonatas: Schubert’s Romantic ‘duo’ sonata and Grieg’s best-loved third violin sonata, a passionate work of breathtaking virtuosity.

Franz Schubert: Violin Sonata in A major, D574
Edvard Grieg: Violin Sonata No.3 in C minor, Op. 45
