Anastasia Kobekina plays Debussy, Juon and Franck

Two great French sonatas, written 30 years apart, the first by Claude Debussy, originally subtitled "Pierrot is angry at the moon", the second by Debussy's older compatriot César Franck, transcribed for cello by Jules Delsart from his violin sonata. BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist the young Russian cellist Anastasia Kobekina is joined by Swiss pianist Jean-Sélim Abdelmoula for this recital, which also features a less familiar work dating from 1904 by the Russian-born Swiss late-Romantic Paul Juon.
