Lyrical and Virtuosic Works for Cello and Piano

Gerlint Böttcher and Fermín Villanueva present a chamber music evening steeped in tonal poetry, inspired by the tender "Salut d'amour" by Elgar. Works by Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Cassadó unfold the full expressive range of the cello-and-piano duo - from intimate lyricism to passionate virtuosity.

"A great interpreter" - that was how the legendary French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez described him in 2013. Cellist Fermín Villanueva performs at major international music festivals, captivating audiences worldwide with Spanish fire, passion, and sensitivity.

The press praises pianist Gerlint Böttcher's concerts, CD recordings, and numerous productions for national and international broadcasters, crediting her with "dazzling virtuosity" and "a pronounced capacity for emotional depth" (Piano News). Her tours have taken her to the Americas, the Middle East, across Europe, and to China, where she has given concerts, led masterclasses, and served on the juries of international piano competitions.
