First Concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2009, violinist Daishin Kashimoto is also a globe-trotting soloist and chamber musician appearing in the world’s most prestigious concert halls. Next month, he will share the Grand Hall stage with Italian pianist Alessio Bax, winner of both the Leeds and Hamamatsu International Piano Competitions and a stellar chamber musician renowned for his exceptional lyricism and insight with consummate technique. The duo will present three hauntingly beautiful violin sonatas by Mozart, Brahms, and Prokofiev, offering us a chronological tour along the history of the genre’s stylistic development.

日裔小提琴家樫本大進自2009年起擔任柏林愛樂首席，同時也是一位炙手可熱的獨奏家和室樂演奏家，不但獲獎無數，亦經常與世界最知名的樂團及指揮合作，足跡遍及全球。意大利鋼琴家巴克斯則為里茲大賽和濱松國際鋼琴比賽首獎得主，以抒情風格、非凡洞察力和精湛技巧著稱。這對享譽國際的二重奏將於繆思樂季呈獻莫扎特、布拉姆斯與浦羅哥菲夫三首風格各異、讓人目眩神迷的名曲，帶領觀眾一窺為小提琴及鋼琴而作的奏鳴曲於音樂史中的發展和流變。
