Coffee Concert

Gemma Rosefield cello and Tim Horton piano

Beethoven   Variations on “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen” Op 66
Rachmaninov   Vocalise Op 34 No 14
Rachmaninov   Cello Sonata in G minor Op 19

Two of the Festival’s favourite musicians met as members of Ensemble 360 and, with Benjamin Nabarro, formed the Leonore Piano Trio which opens the Festival.

Gemma Rosefield and Tim Horton bring a gorgeous programme for a Coffee Concert on a Saturday morning starting with Beethoven’s witty and virtuosic variations on Papageno’s aria from The Magic Flute, which are followed by Rachmaninov’s haunting and beautiful Vocalise. His Cello Sonata, written in 1901 is surely the most romantic ever written for the instrument, and no Festival focusing on his works could be complete without it.
