Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a live concert from London's Wigmore Hall with clarinettist Michael Collins and pianist Wu Qian. They open with Gerald Finzi鈥檚 quintessential English Bagatelles, before embracing the Sonatina by Martin暖, written in post-war New York yet infused with the vitality of pre-war Paris, and music by two members of Les Six. The programme ends with the lyrical Clarinet Sonata by Arnold Cooke, a Cambridge-educated Yorkshireman who studied with Paul Hindemith in Berlin in the 1920s.
Elsewhere in the programme, we begin a weeklong focus on music performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Today, conductor Thomas Sondergard leads the orchestra in two romantic works - Samuel Coleridge Taylor鈥檚 Ballade and Rachmaninov鈥檚 Symphonic Dances. There is also a focus on chamber music by Ravel and Haydn and the artists in focus are renowned Dutch piano duo, Lucas and Arthur Jussen who will perform music by Schubert.
