Following Ravel's jazz-infused Violin Sonata in G,  a two-movement work by the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara that was a source for the composer’s Angel of Light Symphony. The recital concludes with one of Prokofiev's best-loved chamber works, originally written for flute but later arranged for violin by the composer, thanks to the prompting of his close friend, the violinist David Oistrakh, who premiered the work in 1944.
