The Festival draws to a joyous close with a new transcription of Bach’s triple concerto in D minor which puts Craig Ogden, David Gordon and Miloš Milivojević centre stage.
Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante is one of his first genuine masterpieces. First published in 1802, it became enormously popular in various arrangements, This new version by Yuri Zhislin stays true to the original while sharing out the solo material to produce a concerto for seven players.
Faure’s ever popular Dolly Suite was written for the daughter of his long-term mistress. Originally for two pianos, we are playing the orchestration made by Fauré’s friend, Henri Rabaud.

Musick for a while
The Path Towards the Goldberg Variations

The word baroque is derived from the Portuguese, baroco, meaning ‘a pearl of irregular or bulbous shape’.  I wanted, in this programme to explore 150 years of music from that era, a period more diverse than any other apart from our own. I’ve ignored towering figures such as Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann and chosen instead to follow an erratic path across Europe and the British Isles towards one of the music’s great masterpiece, Bach’s Goldberg Variations. David Juritz
