Emanuele Torquati will come back in France with his chamber music partner, renowned cellist Francesco Dillon, after last year’s concerts in Paris, which received great critical acclaim.

The Duo will be on stage in Strasbourg on 25th and in Paris on 27th with two Recitals, featuring the rare Sonata written in 1888 by Francesco Cilea, famous for his opera “Adriana Lecouvreur”, and two milestone of 20th century cello and piano repertoire: Janàcek’s seminal “Pohadka” and highly demanding Sostakovic Sonata in D minor op. 40. Both concerts will take place at the local Italian Cultural Institutes.

Last venue of the Tour will be the prestigious Hotel de Galliffet on 2nd March, where the Duo will present a Portrait on Italian rising talent’s composer, Francesco Filidei. His chamber and solo works will be interspersed by some late Franz Liszt oeuvres, such as La lugubre gondola, part of one of the Duo last recordings. Violin virtuoso Saori Furukawa will join the Duo for Filidei’s “Corde vuote” and Liszt’s Tristia, a rarely performed version of “La Vallée d’Obermann” made by the composer himself.
