In the early 1970s, two Juilliard students met and became close friends. The two, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax, would go on to become legends of the music world. In a friendship spanning half a century and musical collaborations over the decades, their performances together are truly something special to experience.
The pair have been recital partners since 1973, when the duo performed their first public recital at the Marlboro Music School and Festival. They have recorded much of their cello/piano repertoire together.
The performance features the hugely popular and fiery Brahms' Violin Sonata No. 3, arranged for cello and piano, along with Prokofiev's passionate Cello Sonata in C Major, Beethoven's Variations in F on a Theme from The Magic Flute, and more.
