Familiar works by Mozart and Schubert frame a Janus-like concert that straddles the centuries, turning back for inspiration but planting its feet in the music of today. In Ravel's hands the grace and exuberance of French baroque dance forms become both homage to his French musical ancestry and bittersweet homily to the fallen.
Luke Bedford's rhapsody evokes 19th-century conjoined twins who sing with a striking, heartrending beauty whilst Benjamin's taut, luminous score teems with vivid caprice and sombre foreboding.
