SCHUMANN Piano Quintet in E flat Op.44 (28')
This afternoon concert begins with the ‘Mother Goose’ Suite. Ravel’s delightful, whimsical work sets fairytales to music, performed here in a chamber arrangement. Starting life as a composition for piano four hands, and best known in an orchestral version, this chamber arrangement has been a favourite of players and audiences alike over the decades. Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat, widely considered to be his greatest chamber work, is an epic piano concerto in quintet form: serene, reflective and ultimately exultant.
