Janácek: Violin Sonata; Lutoslawski: Partita; Szymanowski: Mythes, ,

This program comprises three major twentieth-century chamber works, all of them deeply rooted in the musical world of Central Europe. Janacek's violin sonata and Szymanowski's Mythes are exactly contemporary. Composed respectively at the beginning and the end of the twentieth century, Mythes and Lutoslawski's Partita constitute two landmarks of Polish music. Isabelle Faust is an enthusiastic chamber musician, and a noted interpreter of the great twentieth-century works of Bartok, Berg, Ligeti, Lutoslawski and Takemitsu. Eva Kupiec's virtuosity and instinctive individuality of playing were described by Lutoslawski himself as, "a true revelation."
