Cotswolds Festivals (1/4)

Sarah Walker presents highlights from music festivals in the Cotswolds, including Haydn’s Op 77 No 2 and Chopin’s late sonata, his Opus 58.

Sarah Walker presents a selection of highlights from the 2023 Chipping Campden and Tetbury Festivals. From the TakΓ‘cs Quartet, we hear Haydn’s Op 77 No 2, the final quartet he completed - a favourite of chamber players, for its masterful development of ideas, searching themes and musical jokes. To follow, pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason performs Chopin’s late sonata, his Opus 58, considered to be one of his most difficult and dynamic of his compositions. Although frantic energy permeates the work, we find respite in a beautiful nocturne-like slow movement.
