Although his name is often linked to famous concertante works for violin (Symphonie espagnole) and cello (Cello concerto), Édouard Lalo also wrote some chamber music pages of real quality, which this concert allows to be rediscovered through a programme built around the piano. The Trio No. 3, the last he wrote, brings together Lalo’s two preferred instruments. They continued to communicate with the piano in the intense Sonata for cello, in the picturesque Guitare for violin, of Spanish inspiration, and in the Romance-sérénade for violin and orchestra, here transcribed for violin and piano.
