Britten Sinfonia at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
From the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Norwegian violinist Henning Kraggerud leads the Britten Sinfonia in music by Mozart, Piers Tattersall, Berio and Schubert.
Live from The Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Presented by Martin Handley
Norwegian violinist Henning Kraggerud leads the Britten Sinfonia in music by Mozart, Piers Tattersall, Berio and Mahler's orchestration of Schubert's Death and the Maiden quartet.
Mozart's sunny concerto is followed by a new work by Piers Tattersall which ruminates on the playing and compositions of violinist Fritz Kreisler - nostalgic and 'cosy' according to Tattersall - as set against the troubled times in which it was written - between the two World Wars. After the interval Berio's Duos in which each movement is named in honour of a friend or fellow musician precedes Schubert's famous late string quartet arranged for string orchestra by fellow composer Mahler.
