Works by Gabriel Fauré, Leoš Janácek, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy In this rousing program, cello and piano embark on an exploration of the fairy-tale motif. From the spirited melodies of Martinu's "Variations on a Slovakian Theme", which immerse us in the lively atmosphere of Slovakian folk music, to the evocative narrative of Janacek's "Pohádka", in which Slavic folklore is brought to life through expressive storytelling.

Fauré's delicate "Papillon" flutters gracefully, capturing the fleeting beauty of a butterfly's dance, while Ravel's spirited "Habanera" transports us to the passionate rhythms of Spain. Debussy's atmospheric "Sonata for Cello and Piano" invites us to explore subtle emotional nuances, as if we were moving through the layers of a complex fairy tale. Finally, Prokofiev's monumental "Cello Sonata" concludes our odyssey with triumphant momentum, reflecting resilience and bravery in the face of adversity.
