Music@Menlo’s series of artist-curated recitals showcases individual festival musicians and their singular musical passions. Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han offer one of their signature duo recital programs. The Beethoven sonatas for piano and cello represent a bold reimagination of the cello-and-keyboard literature in which the cello, traditionally cast in a supporting role, and piano interact as equal partners.
