Violinist Johan Dalene’s Carnegie Hall debut is a compelling program that makes clear his admirable versatility and notable ambitions. The program opens with Arvo Pärt's Fratres, a singular piece that has been arranged for countless instrumental configurations, and which is particularly well-loved on strings and piano. Three of Lera Auerbach's modern preludes make for a spellbinding segue into Grieg's third and final violin sonata, a longtime favorite showpiece among recitalists. Brahms's own Third Violin Sonata soars with characteristic feeling, and Ravel’s multifaceted Second Violin Sonata delights with a second movement influenced by the blues and early jazz heard in 1920s France.
