SUMMARY:Live at Yours: Sergej Krylov + Konstantin Shamray
DESCRIPTION:One of the world’s five greatest violinists Sergej Krylov (based in Italy) will make his Australian debut in Melbourne at  Live at Yours on March 10\, a at the Toorak Synagogue\, praised for its  beautiful acoustics.  \nKrylov will perform  in a duo recital with Australian piano star Konstantin Shamray\, performing Saint-Saëns\, Ravel and Franck. Krylov will be playing his 1710 “Camposelice” Stradivari violin\, valued at US$20 million. On a one-year loan from Japan’s Nippon Music Foundation\, this historic instrument has passed through European collectors and is named after the 19th-century French Duke of Camposelice. \nThe Toorak Synagogue is rarely opened heritage venue and is celebrated for its superb acoustics. \nFOUR MASTERPIECES. ONE EXTRAORDINARY NIGHT. \nSaint-Saëns: Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso— Written for Pablo de Sarasate\, this piece was made for a violinist with presence. It begins with polish and restraint\, then gradually reveals its appetite for brilliance. \nRavel: Violin Sonata No. 2 — Ravel wrote this in his jazz-fascinated years\, and the famous Bluesmovement says a great deal: lean\, dry\, precise — Paris glancing toward America\, but entirely in Ravel’s own language. \nRavel: Tzigane — Ravel wrote it after hearing Jelly d’Arányi play late into the night and asking for more. You can feel that charge in the piece: it begins as if discovered in the moment\, then keeps raising the temperature until it becomes an inferno. \nFranck: Sonata in A major — Franck gave this sonata to Eugène Ysaÿe as a wedding gift\, and Ysaÿe later said he played it con amore. It is the emotional centre of the night — generous\, luminous\, and quietly devastating by the end. \nDescriptions are a bit like reading a menu — enticing\, hopefully — but the real thing is being in the room: the first note\, the spark\, the silence\, the sound — and the feeling of being carried away by it. \n\nMar 10 from 7pm to 8:30pm AEDT\nToorak Synagogue\n\n\nFrom $37.83
