Masters of Song

SCHUMANN Adagio and Allegro FALLA Suite Populaire Espagnole BRITTEN Cello Sonata JANÁČEK Pohádka POULENC Cello Sonata

JONATHAN AASGAARD cello IAN BUCKLE piano

Songs, dances and secrets… Tonight, Jonathan Aasgaard, leader of the Orchestra’s cello section, joins pianist Ian Buckle in a recital that embraces both the smoky Spanish flavours of Manuel de Falla, and Benjamin Britten’s intensely personal tribute to a Russian great. And the cello’s magical, melodic tones allow these songs to simply soar. Please note that reserved seating is in place for this concert.
