A Time There Was... Andrew Kennedy and The Aronowitz Ensemble

City Halls : Grand Hall
This event is part of A Time There Was...
The idea of rhapsody, a surging forth of luscious harmony and melodies, is one of the keynotes of the English pastoral style. You can find no more quintessential expression of it than On Wenlock Edge, Vaughan Williams setting of Housman. Each song evokes a powerful atmosphere: storm, rest, contentment, haunting and passion. Andrew Kennedy is perfect for this piece: he won the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Rosenblatt Recital Prize in 2005 and has since made English song a particular specialism. This last concert in our series ends on an appropriately valedictory but far from sombre note. Elgar’s Piano Quintet is a late masterpiece: meaty, Romantic, a thrilling listen in the hands of musicians as fine as The Aronowitz Ensemble.
