Schumann & Ravel: Mother Goose

17 May 2025 14:00

RAVEL (arr. Farrington) Mother Goose Suite (20')
FARRENC Sextet (20')
DURUFLÉ Prélude, récitatif et variations (12')
SCHUMANN Piano Quintet in E flat Op.44 (28')

This afternoon concert begins with the ‘Mother Goose’ Suite. Ravel’s delightful, whimsical work sets fairytales to music, performed here in a chamber arrangement. Starting life as a composition for piano four hands, and best known in an orchestral version, this chamber arrangement has been a favourite of players and audiences alike over the decades. Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat, widely considered to be his greatest chamber work, is an epic piano concerto in quintet form: serene, reflective and ultimately exultant.
