Tchaikovsky Slavonic March

7.43 a,pp. Songs with orchestra:
To the Forest
Don Juan 's Serenade

7.52 app. Piano Concerto No. 1, in B flat minor

8.27 app. Suite: Casse Noisette

From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Tickets may be obtained from the Royal Albert Hall or usual agents

The two songs in this programme both have words by A.K. Tolstoy, who was a distant relative of the great novelist. 'To the Forest' is the fifth of a set of seven songs written in 1880, the words are taken from a poem 'John of Damascus' which describes John leaving his palace and seeking solace in nature. 'Don Juan 's Serenade,' the first of a set of six songs written two years earlier, is a brilliant piece of characterisation.
Amid the wealth of comment called forth by the famous Concerto in B flat minor, one fact may have escaped attention: it is almost the only piano concerto in the repertory written by a composer who was never trained as a concert pianist. Yet the writing for the piano (in which Tchaikovsky may have received advice from Nicholas Rubinstein and others) is scintillating; and this feature, together with the work's exultant, haunting tunes and glowing orchestration, has ensured for it a popularity that remains phenomenal.

Songs of a Wayfarer
Memory
When daffodils begin to peer English May
I was not sorrowful I will walk on earth sung by Frederick Harvey (baritone) with Ernest Lush (accompanist)
John Ireland , who has written about ninety songs, has invariably chosen fine words, and set them sensitively, with just note and accent.' His songs, moreover, not only reflect the varying moods of the poems with rare fidelity, but provide both singers and pianists with music that is grateful to perform. Songs of a Wayfarer, which appeared in 1912, are dedicated to the celebrated bass singer Robert Radford (1874-1933). The five poems drawn upon are the work respectively of William Blake , Shakespeare, Dante Gabriel Rossetti , Ernest Dowson , and James Vila Blake.
