FRIDAY 26 JULY 7.30 PM Song Recital Series
Schubert Winterreise Over the past decade James Gilchrist and Anna Tilbrook have developed profound interpretations of landmarks of the Lieder repertoire, from Schumann’s Dichterliebe to Schubert’s late song-cycles. Their 2011 recording of Winterreise attracted five-star reviews and allowed singer and pianist to dig deep beneath the work’s surface. ‘There is no such thing as a definitive version,’ comments Gilchrist. ‘The work lives anew every time minds talk to each other through music.’

Aronowitz Ensemble Dohnányi Piano Quintet No. 1 in C minor Op. 1 Brahms String Quintet in G Op. 111 Five years separate the publication in 1890 of Brahms’s so-called ‘Prater’ Quintet and the appearance of Erno˝ Dohnányi’s Op. 1, a product of his student days at the Budapest Academy of Music. The Aronowitz Ensemble presents an enticing chance to hear why Brahms said after reviewing the work that he ‘could not have written it better himself’. Supported by John and Amy Ford No evening performance. Box Office open 10.00 am to 2.00 pm
