The concert will feature Sergey Antonov, the young- est winner of Moscow’s prestigious International Tchaikovsky Cello Competi- tion, and pianist Ilya Kazant- sev, a two-time winner of the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati, Ohio. The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Liberty Theater, located at 1203 Commercial St. A gala Artists Reception for patrons will follow the concert at Carruthers, a new restaurant kitty-corner to the theater. The concert will feature sonatas as well as shorter pieces for cello and piano. Camille Saint-Saens’ tur- bulent Cello Sonata No. 1 in C Minor is on the program. The sonata makes full use of the lower registers of both cello and piano, relecting the composer’s sadness at the loss of a family member and at the state of France following Napoleon III’s crushing defeat by Prussia in 1870. The program also in- cludes Benjamin Britten’s Cello Sonata, the irst of ive major works Britten wrote for Antonov’s celebrated cello teacher Mstislav Ros- tropovich. In the timbre and counterpoint of scherzo-piz- zicato movement, one can immediately detect indebt- edness to the Indonesian Balinese gamelan tradition. The moto perpetuo inal movement uses the “DSCH” motif (D-E lat-C-B natural) as a coded tribute to the name Dmitri Shostakovich, the composer who inspired Britten to write for cello.
