NEW LIVE RECORDING (AUDIO/VIDEO): CÉSAR FRANCK: SONATE POUR VIOLON ET PIANO EN LA MAJEUR, FWV 8: BERNADETTE BAKER, VIOLIN

Another Tempo Rubato performance, another great evening, and another recording to show for it. Many thanks to Bernadette Baker for her all-around excellence and commitment to putting this work together.

This was recorded live at Tempo on Fri 7th Feb - it is an unedited, continuous recording of the complete Sonata.

I am particularly interested in the idea of reinvigorating ‘messy music’ as discussed during one of Tyler Cowen’s recent podcasts. This performance being my first example of such: missed notes, wrong notes, applause between movements - the real experience of a first live performance as opposed to a micro-edited studio recording.

I hope you enjoy the recording, and please remember to subscribe to my channel and/or newsletter to keep abreast of where I will be and what I am doing.
