The flutist Alexander Lipay and pianist Fanya Lin come together for 3 involved selections from Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert and César Franck.
Brahms’ “Sonata No. 1 In E Minor Op. 38” opens with the soaring flute and cautious keys interacting with tremendous beauty across the 3 segments, where the keys get firm near the end,
In the middle, Schubert’s “Sonatina No. 2 In A Minor, D. 385” unfolds across 4 chapters of tonally strong and dynamic musicianship that balances intimacy with exploration.
Franck’s “Sonata In A Major” exits with dizzying bouts, harmonic swells and melodic gestures as both players illustrate incredible skill with their instruments.
The duo breath new life into these time honored pieces, where their unparalleled attentiveness won’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.
