Chapelle des Haudères, Rue de la Chapelle, 1984 Les Haudères
Works by Schubert, Bach, Vieuxtemps, Stravinsky and Shostakovich
Alongside pianist Lidija Bizjak, Sarah Strohm offers a demanding and coherent program, focused on the expressive richness of the instrument: Schubert's "Arpeggione" Sonata unfolds a full, lilting lyricism, while Bach's Sonata in G minor, transcribed for viola, reveals the polyphonic density and architectural rigor of the writing. The Élégies by Vieuxtemps and Stravinsky offer two contrasting views of the instrument: one in the Romantic tradition, the other more modern and spare. In conclusion, Shostakovich's Sonata, the composer's last work, gives the viola a meditative, introspective depth.
