About this concert

It was as a student at the Leipzig Conservatory that Grieg first came into contact with the music of Schumann, inspiring a life-long enthusiasm. The brilliant young Russian violinist Ilya Gringolts pairs Grieg’s Violin Sonata No. 1, which the composer characterised as ‘naive, rich in ideas’, with Schumann’s more turbulent D minor Sonata.
