World premiere for the Sergey Khachatryan / Alexandre Kantorow duo, Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra
Auditorium Rainier IIIApr 2024The elegance, taste, poignancy and energy of their playing in Brahms Sonata No. 1 transcends time and technology. Their collaborative performance of this sonata is the definition of true musicianship. Khachatryan is the ideal performer: he feels this music and touches our hearts. It rises and falls through the many peaks. It is by turns harsh, frenetic, dramatic and violent then romantic and lyrical. Kantorow is swept up in the movement. In Claude Debussy's Violin Sonata, the Khachatryan-Kantorow duo give an inimitable "French" touch with delicate nuances combined with passionate outbursts. In the Sonata for piano and violin in A major by César Franck. Khachatryan and Kantorow form a dialogue in perfect balance, tension and emotion, alternation of rigor, fantasy and its divine moments of deep meditation. It is a triumph and after numerous encores, they repeat a movement of Franck's Sonata.
