The sublime third movement of Alkan's cello sonata, based on themes of cantillation from the synagogue, in line with its epigraph from the prophet Micah, 'As the dew scattered on the grass....' Superbly played by Rohan de Saram (cello) and Jonathan Powell (piano) at the 2009 'Indian Summer in Levoca' Festival. Concert supported by the Alkan Society.
No comments? This absolutely beautiful! It's interesting how Alkan put Jewish influences in a lot of his music.
