WOODWIND CHAMBER MUSIC

THURS 28 NOV, 1PM
ANGELA BURGESS RECITAL HALL

TIPPETT Prelude, Recitative and Aria
PREVIN Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano
FARRENC Sextet, Op 40

Michael Tippett’s Prelude, Recitative and Aria derives from his astringent opera King Priam, first performed in Coventry. The music of Louise Farrenc is seeing something of a renaissance in recent years, and her Sextet for wind and piano reveals a distinctive compositional voice. André Previn’s Trio reveals his wide-ranging musical interests, with jazz rhythms to the fore in its rambunctious final movement.
