2019/20 SEASON JANUARY - MARCH 2020 2 • Director’s Introduction • 3 We are delighted to welcome the French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa for her Wigmore Hall debut this spring, presenting a programme of her native repertoire alongside two works from the distinguished Turkish pianist, Fazıl Say, who will accompany Crebassa in January. Vijay Iyer continues his contemplations on musicality with two events in January. Ritual Ensemble draws on various musical systems to forge a unity of orchestrated and ecstatic expressions in their music. The following afternoon, Iyer is joined in conversation by Professor Georgina Born for an exchange of ideas traversing the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences. Our Beethoven celebrations continue with the cycles begun in autumn, including Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch’s complete piano trios, Jonathan Biss in the complete piano sonatas, and James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong’s exploration of the composer’s violin sonatas. An evening in March is dedicated to Beethoven’s string trios with Daniel Sepec, Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras. The Dover Quartet presents two consecutive concerts in January covering composers from Mozart and Rossini to Hindemith and double bassist Edgar Meyer. Meyer joins the quartet on the Sunday night for a Rossini duet and his own Quintet for strings. In February 2020, Wigmore Hall Learning presents its annual Learning Festival. From Monday 10 to Saturday 22 February, we will explore the concept of Musical Conversations, with a special Bechstein Session event with the Sacconi Quartet to open the festival on 10 February. The celebrated soprano Nelly Miricioiu will be leading what promises to be an insightful masterclass in March, following her lunchtime recital a week before. -

Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Born at Oneg, Novgorod Region. He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his role as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas and liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and voice.

May 2014 Representing Today’S Great Labels This Month's Highlights
CONSUMER INFORMATION SERVICE: NO. 268 MAY 2014 REPRESENTING TODAY’S GREAT LABELS THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS Select Music and Video Distribution Limited 3 Wells Place, Redhill, Surrey RH1 3SL Tel: 01737 645600 Fax: 01737 644065 Robert SCHUMANN, Ludwig van BEETHOVEN, Frédéric CHOPIN, Stephen HOUGH In the Night Stephen Hough This latest recital album by ‘the thinking person’s virtuoso: an extraordinary pianist’ (The New York Times) takes the listener on a journey through that most intense and absorbing of nineteenth-century obsessions, the night. The Romantic night was one without sleep; where experiences are mutated through darkness. Highlight Stephen Hough’s thoughtful programming creates a new aural sphere for some of the most celebrated piano of the month works in the repertoire. CDA67996 Anton RUBINSTEIN Piano Quartets Rita Manning Morgan Goff Justin Pearson Leslie Howard CDA68018 Pianist Leslie Howard is acclaimed as ‘a virtuoso in the true Romantic style with its emphasis on musicality as much as bravura’ (The Guardian). He is joined here by three of his frequent string collaborators for two forgotten masterpieces of the Russian nineteenth-century chamber music tradition by renowned pianist- composer Anton Rubinstein. Ildebrando PIZZETTI, Mario CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO Violin Sonatas Hagai Shaham Arnon Erez Hagai Shaham and Arnon Erez continue their exploration of the early twentieth-century violin repertoire, CDA67869 turning this time to Italy. These musicians are noted for their full-blooded performances: here they revel exuberantly in the music’s operatic passion. George Frideric HANDEL The Eight Great Suites Danny Driver Danny Driver’s recordings of CPE Bach’s keyboard works have been much admired: praised by critics as deeply stylish and revelatory accounts of eighteenth-century works on a modern piano, with Driver’s impeccable pianism constantly present. -

Leading soprano Roberta Invernizzi gathers a host of friends to celebrate women Baroque composers in April, while acclaimed Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes returns for his second appearance in the season, performing a solo recital for two evenings in a row.

Saturday 9 May will spotlight the work of ‘the renaissance woman of contemporary British music’, Errollyn Wallen. Further explorations of the music of Britten, Brahms and Beethoven thread through the summer programme, including the culmination of Jonathan Biss’ Beethoven sonata cycle, a concert dedicated to Britten’s Canticles with Allan Clayton, Iestyn Davies and others, and more Brahms from the Castalian String Quartet, joined in April by Nils Mönkemeyer and Ursula Smith. Sir András Schiff will lecture on and perform Schubert’s D960 in April and Beethoven’s final piano sonatas in June.Rachel Podger continues her focus on Bach in her residency, and the wonderful Concertgebouw Winds with Jeroen Bal on piano presents a BBC lunchtime concert at the end of April.
