As a musician’s instrumental proficiency develops, so too does their artistic taste and temperament. Each ANAM musician’s recital is a snapshot in time – simultaneously summarising their year of training and revealing glimpses of their future selves. What music excites them? What do they want to communicate? How does their art help them understand the world better? Hear what the next generation of virtuosi have to say, and how, in the 2025 ANAM Recital series.
Daring and Divine
"Poulenc's Sonata for Violin and Piano was written at the request of violin virtuoso Ginette Neveu. To me, the outer movements of the sonata feel playful, sarcastic, and at times imbued with a sense of fury. Meanwhile, the middle movement (Intermezzo) is elegiac and dreamy. Daunting for both performers, the sonata is an endlessly contrasting work that shifts lithely between haunting melodies and fiery pointed rhythms.
Following this piece, I will be playing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, written when the composer was just nineteen years old. The concerto is strikingly original, opening with a lively Allegro from the orchestra, only for the soloist to enter with a short but ethereal Adagio— the only concerto by Mozart to feature such an interlude. The third movement is what gives the concerto its nickname (“Turkish”). Beginning as a graceful minuet, the music disturbs itself suddenly, switching to an unruly middle section filled with “grotesque” elements that would have pushed boundaries during Mozart’s time." — Daisy Wong
