The 2010 Festival maintains the tradition of combining a wide range of chamber music classics with unexpected jewels. In the late night concert the nocturnal theme culminates in Schönberg’s romantic masterpiece, Verklärte Nacht for string sextet. The 200th anniversaries of Schumann and Chopin are celebrated, the latter in a Salon Concert, when pianist Benjamin Frith plays Waltzes and Mazurkas with readings from Chopin’s letters interspersed with charming musical miniatures: and that feast is followed by afternoon tea and scones!
John Gillespie is the narrator at the Saturday morning Family Concert, featuring the Russian tale of Baba Yaga, and on Sunday morning Martin Neary directs the Festival Singers and Strings in Mozart’s beautiful Missa Brevis k 192. That evening Mendelssohn’s Octet, played by all the strings, brings the Festival to a rousing conclusion.
The Gould Piano Trio has established a reputation as one of the most stylish and versatile ensembles performing today. Highly regarded in the field of chamber music, they enjoy a career that takes them to major venues in the United Kingdom and overseas. Highlights of this season have included a tour of the USA, a recital at the Wigmore Hall, BBC broadcasts and new CD releases.
Robert Plane’s charismatic and dynamic performances as soloist and chamber musician in concert and on disc have brought wide critical acclaim. He is currently principal clarinet of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
