PROGRAM
"Distorting Mirrors"

The wonderful cantabile of Beethoven's Romance, also famous for its TV advertising function, finds its contemporary alter ego in Molinelli's composition, a tribute to Schnittke's creative verve. At the center of the program, the intense, revolutionary second Sonata by the German and the chromatic, anguishing one by the Russian reflect and distort each other.
