Brahms: Cello Sonata no. 3 in D minor, Op.108

Yo-Yo Ma, cello
Kathryn Stott, piano

The American cellist returns to Wigmore Hall for the first time in over twenty years. The recital's first half comprises works influenced by the past, exploring how composers as diverse as Villa-Lobos and Guarnieri, Stravinsky and Piazzolla carried traditional forms into the modern world. And, in the second half, Messiaen's sublime Louange a l'eternite de Jesus from his Quartet for the End of Time serves as a bridge into Brahms's songful last Sonata Op. 108.
