Ravel Plus: Szymanowski Quartet
Sarah Walker presents Ravel Plus performed by the Szymanowski Quartet at the 2019 Hay Festival, including works by Ravel and Szymanowski.
Sarah Walker presents Ravel Plus, with music performed by the Szymanowksi Quartet, recorded at St Mary's Church, Hay-on-Wye, during the 2019 Hay Festival. The concert comprises two works including Ravel鈥檚 ebullient Quartet in F major, which marked a turning point for Ravel as not just another salon composer, but a composer of more serious music. The final work is Szymanowski鈥檚 First String Quartet, which has a more serious tone, composed in 1917 amidst the turmoil of the October Revolution.
The 2019 Hay Festival lunchtime concert series also celebrates the 20th anniversary of Radio 3鈥檚 New Generation Artists scheme, which nurtures and promotes some of the world鈥檚 finest young musicians at the start of their international careers. Throughout the week there鈥檒l be performances by both current and former 大象传媒 New Generation Artists.
