From the bottom of my heart
Kimmo Hakola, piano
Juho Pohjonen, piano
Kaija Saarikettu, violin
Artturi Aalto, cello
For its 25th anniversary, Lux Musicae commissioned a violin sonata from Kimmo Hakola (b. 1958), which will be premiered by Hakola himself (piano) and Kaija Saarikettu (violin). It is a continuation to one of Lux Musicae’s main principle: to support creative work and new musical art.
The programme is otherwise made up of romantic music from different centuries:
Jean Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) was one of the most important harpsichord composers of his time. Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was fascinated by the different art forms of his time, t.ex. painting and poetry, which can be heard in his compositions.
Johannes Brahms’ (!833-1897) Cello Sonata in E minor is one of his most beloved chamber music works. It is also a tribute to Bach, whose Contrapunctus theme No 13 he uses in the last movement of the sonata, which is a fugue.
Program:
Jean-Philippe Rameau:
Suite in A minor (Nouvelles suites des pièces de clavecin)
Kimmo Hakola:
Violin Sonata Op. 117 (world premiere)
-intermission-
Claude Debussy:
Sonata for cello and piano L.135
- Prologue: Lent, sostenuto e molto risoluto
- Sérénade: Modérément anime
- Finale: Animé, léger et nerveux
Johannes Brahms:
Sonata for piano and cello No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38
- Allegro non troppo
- Allegretto quasi Menuetto
- Allegro
