JANÁČEK (arr. TOGNETTI) String Quartet No.1 “The Kreutzer Sonata”
BEETHOVEN (arr. TOGNETTI) Violin Sonata in A “Kreutzer”
 
RICHARD TOGNETTI Artistic Director and Lead Violin
 
The violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer would be amazed to know what has been created in his name. Beethoven didn’t even write the “Kreutzer Sonata” for him, but for the man he called the “lunatic mullato”, George Bridgetower.
 
Beethoven’s sonata is the psychological pivot of Leo Tolstoy’s novella “The Kreutzer Sonata”, about a man who kills his adulterous wife. That she and her violinist lover play the Kreutzer together is testament to its emotional power. Tolstoy was branded a moral pervert on publication of the novella and Janáček’s violent reaction to it inspired his first string quartet, itself a psychological drama bursting with passion.
 
The ACO has played Richard Tognetti’s arrangements of these two great works all over the world and here brings them together 100 years after the death of Tolstoy, whose still-controversial story connects these two wildly dramatic pieces.
