Live from Cheltenham, Johan Dalene and Charles Owen perform music for violin and piano.

BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Johan Dalene performs two passionate violin sonatas by Poulenc and Grieg with pianist Charles Owen, live from Cheltenham.

BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Johan Dalene, performs two major violin sonatas with pianist Charles Owen, live from the Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham.  Poulenc’s sonata was composed in Nazi occupied France and exudes rage, tragedy and profound sadness. He dedicated it to the murdered Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca. Grieg’s third sonata was the composer’s favourite, and he performed it often.  The two urgent outer movements frame a meltingly beautiful middle section.  Johan and Charles also perform Boulanger’s miniature evocation of a spring morning; full of restless, vibrant energy. Presented live by Ian Skelly.
