Enjoy lush melodies and impassioned rhapsodies in a dramatic programme of cello masterpieces.

Natalie Clein has been a familiar name since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 1994. The following year saw her first appearance at Turner Sims, as a guest with the Allegri String Quartet. Since then, she has pursued a distinguished career performing with the top orchestras and conductors around the world.

Natalie’s programme with pianist Marianna Shirinyan features three masterpieces for the cello. Alongside Brahms’ two large-scale sonatas is the solo sonata by Hungarian composer Kodály. Kodály’s work is one of the most technically challenging in the cello repertoire.

Magically deft, soaringly passionate, without any trace of self-indulgence, Clein conjures a full orchestra of colours from her precious Guadagnini cello.
