Music at Duffield
Saturday 19 November 2011
MAIN HALL
Richard
Jenkinson brings an excellent group of musicians, several of whom are regular
members of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, to give us an unusual but
enjoyable evening of music. The Tchaikovsky comes form the end of the 19th
century and is famed for its breathtaking lyricism. The Shostakovich symphony is
his final symphony, where he quotes music by other composers - Rossini’s
William Tell overture, and Beethoven, Wagner and others - as well as many of his
own works. It is as if he is looking back on his life and sharing with us his
musical journey. The chamber version of this work was authorised by the
composer.
