Program: Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 6; Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 7; Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 8 Performers: Gil Shaham (violin); Akira Eguchi (piano) One of the world’s most acclaimed violinists returns for an intimate evening of Beethoven sonatas. Known for his lush tone and infectious stage presence, Gil Shaham brings a calming warmth to Beethoven’s Sonata No. 6, tempestuous drama to No. 7, and whimsical virtuosity to No. 8. When Gil Shaham plays Beethoven, he brings his A-game, “his fingers moving as quickly as his mind—dexterous but never too flashy, with a penetratingly rich tone that nevertheless could be spiky when needed” ( Bachtrack ). Shaham is joined by his longtime recital partner, Akira Eguchi, lauded by The New York Times as “a pianist of fluency and rectitude, whose sense of order even in the heat of battle…[keeps] the playing on its successful course.” Together, Shaham and Eguchi maintain “a fine balance between instruments, a partnership of equals, creating a sense of chamber-music intimacy that…[feels] thoughtfully conceived and effective” ( Earrelevant ).
