Simone Lamsma violin; Jonathan Fournel piano

Simone Lamsma’s recital is framed by two vibrant works that sparkle with gleaming wit and abundant invention. The Dutch violinist, praised by the New York Times for her playing’s ‘crisp clarity and brilliantly radiant sound’, also dives deeply into the contrasting worlds of Fauré’s youthful First Violin Sonata and the last of Brahms’s three violin sonatas. She is partnered by Jonathan Fournel, winner of coveted Grand Prix-Queen Mathilde Prize at the 2021 Queen Elisabeth International Competition.
