“Serenade of the Strings: Masterpieces by Fürstenthal and Poulenc” | Concert Series “Echo of the Unheard” | January 23, 2024

© Exilarte

This evening is dedicated to the cello and piano sonatas of Francis Poulenc and Robert Fürstenthal, two masters of the 20th century: one renowned, the other remaining largely undiscovered until now. Poulenc’s 1948 Cello Sonata captivates with its dynamic contrasts and profound lyricism, blending classical elegance with contemporary sensitivity. Fürstenthal’s sonatas, composed in exile in the United States, are imbued with deep nostalgia and emotion. They mark his return to music-making after a long silence, conveying feelings of hope and sorrow with great intensity.
