Nicola Heywood Thomas introduces highlights from the Bath Mozartfest 2021, with concerts performed at the iconic Assembly Rooms. The concert begins in both a grand and virtuosic style with Michael Collins and Michael McHale performing Weber鈥檚 Grand Duo Concertante. This is followed by Paul Lewis and Steven Osborne side by side at the piano in dance mode, with a March, Waltz and Polka by Stravinsky, in his nationalistic Trois pieces faciles. We return to the classical era as the Belcea Quartet perform Mozart鈥檚 experimental String Quartet in F major, K 590, composed for the amateur cello-playing King of Prussia. The programme ends with an encore in another dance performed by Paul Lewis and Steven Osborne - Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 Slavonic Dance in E minor, Op 72 No 2.
