Continuing Dialogue
Listen
"Conversation, companionship, and communication" are necessary for an engaging musical alliance, according to this week's guests on Saint Paul Sunday. Virtuoso recorder player Michala Petri is joined by her husband, guitarist Lars Hannibal, with a wonderful sampler of the old and the new that illustrates the point beautifully. The duo is known for its passion for playing, world-class musicianship and the artists' warm, inviting musical ensemble. We'll hear a sonata by Handel, a Spanish gypsy air originally written for violin, a Norwegian Fantasy by Lalo and "Twilight Dialogue," a work created for Michala Petri by Danish composer Per Nørgård. It's a winning combination that's not to be missed.
George Frederick Handel (arr. Hannibal): Sonata in Bb major
Jules Massenet (arr. Hannibal): Meditation (from Thais)
Pablo de Sarasate (arr. Hannibal): Zigeunerweisen ("Gypsy Airs"), Op. 20
Per Norgård: Twilight Dialogue
Edouard Lalo (arr. Hannibal): Fantasie Norwégienne

Exalted Music-Making
Listen
Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms each come wholly alive under the touch of a father and daughter duo this week on Saint Paul Sunday. Legendary pianist Claude Frank joins the acclaimed violinist Pamela Frank for what Bill McGlaughlin rightly calls some "exalted music-making." We'll hear the haunting aria-like Largo from Bach's fourth violin sonata and two extraordinarily poignant late sonatas by Beethoven and Brahms. The Franks' incandescent performances reveal the lyrical power shared by all three composers, an ongoing tradition the duo celebrates and expands.
Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonata No. 4 in c minor, BWV 1017
-I. Largo
Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata No. 10 in G major, Op. 96
Johannes Brahms: Sonata No. 3 in d minor, Op. 108
-II. Adagio
