Brahms's 2nd Viola Sonata live from Wigmore Hall
Brahms's 2nd Viola Sonata live from Wigmore Hall with violist Lawrence Power and pianist Ryan Wigglesworth and Elgar and Beethoven from the Ulster Orchestra.
Brahms's 2nd Viola Sonata live from Wigmore Hall with violist Lawrence Power and pianist Ryan Wigglesworth, plus highlights from the recent Cowbridge Festival and popular orchestral works by Elgar and Beethoven from the Ulster Orchestra. Introduced by Al Ryan.
We begin the programme with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall. Viola player Lawrence Power and pianist Ryan Wigglesworth perform Brahms's own transcription of his second clarinet sonata alongside George Enescu's virtuosic DzԳٲü which he wrote for the Paris Conservatoire in 1906. Also on their programme is Stravinsky's own chamber arrangement of music from his ballet The Fairy's Kiss.
Elsewhere, we have special recordings all this week from the Ulster Orchestra, and today they play a pair of much loved orchestral works - Nielsen's 1st Symphony and Elgar's Cello Concerto in which they are joined by cellist Nadège Rochat.
Al also has highlights from this month's Cowbridge Festival which featured the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective playing music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. And throughout the week Linton throws the spotlight on the Orsino Ensemble and its members. Today they play Francis Poulenc's Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano.
