Haydn & Vienna Weekend 1-5 May 2009, at the Royal Pump
Rooms,
Leamington Spa
The Haydn Weekend
Joseph Haydn, the father of the symphony and the string quartet (and he wrote more scintillating piano trios than any other composer), heralded in a golden age in Vienna, with three of the greatest of all composers, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert overlapping each other. This Festival Weekend celebrates the Haydn bicentenary and along with some masterpieces by those three great figures, we will be surprised and delighted with the programmed works by Hummel, Hoffmeister, Czerny and Liszt.
We welcome back old friends in Peter Cropper's Trio, the Schubert Ensemble of London and the leading German quartet, the Henschel, all of whom have received great acclaim on previous visits to Leamington. We look forward to the debuts here of pianist Gottlieb Wallisch from Vienna and Trio Parnassus from Stuttgart. The Galeazzi Ensemble, the Seymour-Schatzberger-George quartet and the Four Temperaments have all appeared in the area before and we know that we will be charmed by their lunchtime concerts.
Henschel String Quartet reviewed by the LA Times
"The Henschel are, no question, one of the best groups in the world, a great string quartet, and its debut in Los Angeles was long overdue."
Gottlieb Wallisch at the Musikverein reviewed by "Die Presse"
"The sensation was Gottlieb Wallisch himself. He performed incredible turns and garlands of sounds at breathtaking speed without any visible effort, and in addition with incredible musicality – every single note given the exact weight as was required."
So it's a another wonderful weekend which will entertain and broaden our knowledge of truly great music and we also have a talk on Haydn by the Director of the Haydon Society and another exhibition of paintings of musicians by our Artist in Residence Jane Williams.
These Festival Weekends attract music-lovers from all over Britain and there is no better time to be in Leamington to enjoy its parks and hospitality.
