Beethoven
Quintet for Piano and Winds in E flat Op. 16
For this
concert, Britten Sinfonia's quintet of virtuoso wind players take centre
stage, joined by pianist Imogen Cooper for a delightful programme of works
from three centuries. Beethoven's Quintet for Piano and Wind in E flat
is a wonderful piece, showing Beethoven as a master of classical forms
in a work that is at times witty and high-spirited, at times lyrical and
expansive. Ravel's Mother Goose whisks us away to an enchanted
land of fairy tales, with a colourful and magical portrayal of characters
such as Sleeping Beauty and the Empress of the Pagodas. The 21st century
is represented by Cambridge composer Robin Holloway, whose new work is
premièred on this tour.
