Schloss Au, Hinter Au 1, 8804 Au ZH
The StradivariFEST presents chamber music works by Dmitri Shostakovich at Schloss Au on February 1, 2026, with a viola and a violoncello sonata as highlights.
The StradivariFEST "Klangwelle Zürichsee" invites you to a special recital at Au Castle on Sunday, February 1, 2026. Two important chamber music works by Dmitri Shostakovich will take center stage in the elegant castle hall: the Sonata for Violoncello and Piano in D minor, op. 40, and the Sonata for Viola and Piano in C major, op. 147.
The concert will begin at 16:15 with a prelude by Lea Vaterlaus, who will get the audience in the mood for the musical highlights of the evening. At 17:00, Lech Antonio Uszynski (viola), Maja Weber (violoncello) and Per Lundberg (piano) will present the two sonatas, which impressively reflect Shostakovich's emotional depth and his versatility as a composer.
The Cello Sonata op. 40, written in 1934, is considered one of the most important works of cello literature and combines the classical-romantic tradition of form with Shostakovich's characteristic expressiveness.
The late Viola Sonata op. 147, his last work, is a moving musical legacy.
With this recital, the StradivariFEST continues its Shostakovich series and offers the audience the opportunity to experience the different facets of the composer in the intimacy of chamber music. The concert at Schloss Au promises to be an impressive and atmospheric afternoon in the middle of the "Klangwellen" season, which is dedicated entirely to the Russian composer.
