Three Concerti - T01940125626In this penultimate concert at the Aldeburgh Festival, join us for three contrasting piano concertos with Festival featured artist Pavel Kolesnikov and the Britten Sinfonia. In this programme Britten's Young Apollo for piano, string quartet and string orchestra, written when he was just 26, is followed by Mozart's Jeunehomme which has a youthful energy to match Britten's. Finally Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's Lamentate is an homage to Anish Kapoor and his sculpture Marsyas. | |
