Duo Sol brings a flamboyant programme of music from the new world together with Beethoven’s dazzling Kreutzer Sonata.
One of Hollywood’s leading film composers, Korngold was just 20 when he wrote incidental music for Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Piazzolla’s Le Grand Tango is a vital tango alternately languorous and impassioned.
Australian composers Ross Edwards and Matthew Hindson show very different influences and ambitions, reconnecting music with ritual, spontaneity and the impulse to dance and exploring elements of techno and death-metal styles respectively. John Adam’s Road Movies travels through three movements: Relaxed Groove, Meditative and 40% Swing.
