Wales and West: Clara Schumann and Brahms
Sarah Walker presents highlights from music festivals in Wales and the west of England, including works by Clara Schumann, Brahms and Haas.
Sarah Walker presents a selection of highlights from the 2022 Two Moors Festival and the 2023 Cowbridge Music Festival. Viola player Rosalind Ventris, who is also Artistic Director of the Cowbridge Music Festival, joins pianist LlÅ·r Williams to perform the lyrical Three Romances, Opus 22, which Clara Schumann composed in 1853. This is followed by a work written forty years later, the popular Sonata No 1 in F minor, Opus 120 No 1 by Brahms, which is full of passion and yearning. The concert ends with music recorded at the Two Moors Festival, and the Orsino Ensemble performing a four movement Quintet by Pavel Haas. Haas wrote this work at the age of thirty, in 1929, but his life was to be cut short, when he was murdered in a concentration camp.
