There were no histrionics or choreography in his playing, only sincere, concentrated musical beauty, performed with the confidence of a seasoned artist. Matathias injected these qualities into all four movements of the Cesar Franck Sonata which followed. The beautiful interplay of violin and piano, especially in the canonic last movement, still remains vivid in my memory. The program concluded with the virtuosic Saint-Saen Violin Sonata in D minor. They have been playing together for the past eight years and their excellent ensemble and careful balance testifies to their years of collaboration.
