“Margarita Zelenaia, Russian-born but now living in the USA, was at the concert to introduce the world premiere of her Agony in the Garden. Based on the El Greco painting of that name, a reproduction of which was on display during the performance, it aimed to capture the sense of “vibration, mystery and energy” she spoke about feeling on first seeing the picture. The two players responded keenly to the music’s wide dynamic and expressive scope – a compelling piece that left a profound impression…”
