Sarah Walker presents highlights from the Bath Mozart Minifest 2020, including Saint-Saens and Mozart.

Sarah Walker introduces highlights from the 2020 Bath Mozart Minifest, with concerts recorded at the Wiltshire Music Centre, Bradford-on-Avon. The concert begins with a romantic work, the sonata for bassoon and piano, composed by Camille Saint-Saëns towards the end of his life. This work is unconventional in form, and full of deep feeling and emotion. The final work in the concert is Mozart’s famous lyrical Clarinet Quintet. The clarinet was one of Mozart’s favourite instruments, and this work is full of melodic charm, ending with a set of variations in the finale.
