T604768848The explosive culmination of interwoven words and emotive music amplifies the intensity of the bitter and tragic love-triangle to incredibly passionate levels. Janacek's String Quartet No. 1 (the 'Kreutzer Sonata') echoes Tolstoy's writing with the portrayal of the suffering of a woman, beaten and tortured to death, represented in emotionally highly-charged music. Illuminating the husband's account is Beethoven's Violin Sonata in A major Op. 47 'Kreutzer Sonata'. The piece evokes the turbulent passion embedded in Tolstoy's story with elements of wildness. The result is a performance which brings together three renowned works of art, each of which invigorates the other, all telling of intense romantic emotions.Presented byMusic in the Round May Festival.
