Saint-Saens Nov. 4
ASTORIA — Tickets are on
sale now for a special Nov.
4 concert presented by the
Astoria Music Festival.
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.
