Aberdeen Series (1/4)

Romanian duo cellist Andrei Ioniță and pianist Florian Mitrea perform works by MacMillan, Beethoven, Enescu and Bartók.

Award-winning Romanian cellist, Andrei Ioniță is joined on piano by his long-term collaborator Florian Mitrea in a concert that spans three centuries. Featuring Beethoven’s third of five cello suites which dates 1808 and is credited as one of the first sonatas for cello which puts the instrument on an equal footing with the piano. The recital begins with a short romantic work originally for viola by their countryman George Enescu written in 1906 and arranged by Andrei Ioniță; this is followed by a beautifully serene meditation written by Scotland’s foremost composer James MacMillan and the concert concludes with Bartók's evocative Romanian Folk Dances.
