Highly romantic, this sonata challenges the performer with complex counterpoint and tonal relationships.

Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin.
