Wales and West: Dvořák and Janáček

Sarah Walker presents highlights from music festivals in Wales and the west of England, including works by Dvořák and Janáček

Sarah Walker presents a selection of highlights from the 2022 Two Moors Festival and the 2023 Cowbridge Music Festival. This final concert in the series begins with the famed Dumky Piano Trio by Dvořák, performed by Trio Gaspard at Holy Cross Parish Church in Cowbridge. This mighty six movement work, which carries its listeners between melancholic sections and faster movements, has become one of Dvořák’s most popular works. The concert ends with a return to Dulverton on Exmoor, and a performance given by the Orsino Ensemble of Janáček’s Mládi, or 'Youth'. In this four movement work, the seventy-year-old composer reminisces about his boyhood.
