Mozart - Birtwistle - Mozart
The Amadeus String Quartet
Annon-Lee Silver (soprano), Andre Tchaikowsky (piano), Cecil Aronowitz (viola) and others perform a nocturnal sequence of serious but rarely heard Mozart 'lollipops' including two of the most beguiling and extended melodies that even he ever wrote, one for violin, one from a never-finished opera.
Flanked on either side by Mozart comes a film about Harrison Birtwistle entitled
A Couple of Things About Harry this provides a clue and a background to this provocative and profound British composer
The Fires of London (formerly the Pierrot Players) are directed by the composer The London Sinfonietta directed by David Atherton Mary Thomas (soprano), Alan Hacker (clarinet)
