Debussy Cello sonata in D minor Charlotte Sohy October Ravel Habanera Saint-Saëns The Swan Franck Cello sonata in A major
Saint-Saëns’s The Swan, poised and serene, sits at the heart of this French programme. Laura van der Heijden and Tom Poster set it between two of the greatest of all cello sonatas – Debussy’s late, compressed masterpiece and Franck’s most famous chamber work. Ravel adds a sultry dance, while Charlotte Sohy’s music offers a compelling rediscovery.
