Pianist Ian Scarfe welcomes special guest cellist James Jaffe for a program featuring some of the great masterpieces for cello and piano, starting with Beethoven's first cello sonata! This Sonata was written in Berlin, for the King of Prussia, who was a cellist, and represents the first of the classical sonatas which starred the cello. They will also perform romantic and contemporary works, and discuss the evolution of music for this beloved instrument.

An especially versatile instrument, the cello is equally at home blending into large ensembles or singing out as the lead voice in a group. But in this program, we get to hear the cello's voice all on its own. Join host Sean Fitzgerald to embark on a musical journey with Cellist James Jaffe, who guides us on a unique path through J.S. Bach's foundational works for the instrument, and then shows us how the cello's voice developed in the hands of twentieth and twenty-first century masters Gaspar Cassadó and Chinary Ung.
