Music by Chopin, Frances-Hoad and Franck from 2019 Welsh Festivals.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents music by Chopin and Franck, including a world premiere by Cheryl Frances-Hoad, from the 2019 Music Festivals of Gower, Machynlleth and Presteigne.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents a selection of music recorded at three festivals in Wales in 2019, including the Gower, Machynlleth and Presteigne festivals. The programme begins at the Gower Festival, with an opulent Grand Valse Brillante by Chopin, performed by the pianist Llŷr Williams. This is followed by a world premiere by the composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad - at the Presteigne Festival the clarinettist Rozenn le Trionnaire joined forces with the Albion Quartet to perform Hoad’s Tales from the Invisible. The final work sees a return to the Machynlleth Festival, with the artistic director Julius Drake and cellist Camille Thomas, performing Franck’s rich and brooding Sonata in A. The sonata was dedicated by Franck to the great Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe.
