For their second appearance in St John’s Smith Square, Swiss cellist Timothée Botbol and Ukrainian pianist Dinara Klinton explore Poulenc’s spirited sonata, completed just after the end of World War II.
Alongside Debussy’s many-faced cello sonata written at the very end of his life, and Bloch’s Jewish improvisation “Nigun”, the concert portrays three divergent cello works of the first half of the 20th Century from the French speaking side of classical music.
