\u00ab The limpidity with which Ms. Kayaleh floated the first theme made one marvel once again how something so gentle and apparently self-contained could become the source of such resourceful and unpredictable development as ensues, while Ms. Blaha\u2019s no less eloquent handling of the second subject underlined the originality with which Franck makes each of the two instruments \u201cown\u201d their respective melodies.<\/p>\n
Ms. Blaha unerringly clarified the leading voices within the tumble of piano figuration that launches and underpins much of the dramatic second movement\u2014effectively the work\u2019s scherzo but not thus named\u2014while Ms. Kayaleh was truly molto dolce in her projection of the poco pi\u00f9 lento and Quasi lento sections that Franck intercalates into the tumult.<\/p>\n
Again, in the seemingly-improvisatory-but-not-really Recitativo-Fantasia that is as original a take on the role of \u201cslow movement\u201d as its predecessor is a scherzo, both players were unfailing responsive to Franck\u2019s multiplicity of expressive indications, so that when the finale opened with its plain-spoken but indelibly memorable main theme, it seemed like a thankful homecoming after a long, unpredictable, and sometimes perilous journey. What a masterpiece this sonata is, and how masterfully the Kayaleh\/Blaha duo realized it. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
