Verbier Festival (1/4)

Sarah Walker presents a recital by Renaud Capucon and Andras Schiff performing violin sonatas by Debussy and Franck.

Sarah Walker presents a recital by Renaud Capucon and Andras Schiff performing violin sonatas by Debussy and Franck, recorded at last year's Verbier Festival.

The duo of French violinist and Hungarian-born British pianist presents Claude Debussy's only sonata for these instruments, cool and mysterious, written towards the end of the composer's life. Alongside it is the only sonata by Belgian composer Cesar Franck, written as a (very generous) wedding present for his friend, virtuoso Eugene Ysaye.
