Nicola Heywood Thomas presents highlights from the Bath Mozartfest 2021.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents highlights from the Bath Mozartfest 2021, performed in the Assembly Rooms, including music by Poulenc, Prokofiev, Ravel and Szymanowski.

Nicola Heywood Thomas introduces highlights from the Bath Mozartfest 2021, with concerts recorded at the iconic Assembly Rooms. In this final concert of highlights we begin with the composer Poulenc, in a short three-movement sonata performed side by side by pianists Paul Lewis and Steven Osborne. The programme also includes another piano duet, this time by Ravel who captures a feeling of childhood innocence, in a set of fantasy depictions that make up his Mother Goose Suite. Prior to that, Adam Walker and Michael McHale perform one of the most iconic flute sonatas of all time, Prokofiev’s Sonata in D, Op 94. The programme concludes with music by Szymanoswki composed in 1917 in Warsaw, with the Belcea Quartet performing their encore item, the middle movement from his String Quartet No 1.
