Music by Rachmaninov, Dora Pejačević and Lara Weaver performed by Laura van der Heijden and Jâms Coleman live from Dewsbury as part of the ѿý Proms.
Former ѿý Young Musician of the Year Laura van der Heijden and pianist Jâms Coleman present a programme of 20th- and 21st-century music for cello and piano. Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata is a work suffused with the mystical spirit of Russian Orthodoxy. That spiritual journey in sound becomes a spatial one in Lara Weaver’s A Thing That Holds – an exploration of the cello as a vessel that contains and releases. This season’s spotlight on Croatian composer Dora Pejačević continues with the composer’s Cello Sonata, with echoes of Brahms and Mendelssohn running through its melody-filled movements. The concert opens with Rachmaninov’s lyrical Vocalise.
