Programme
Schumann Overture Manfred op 115 Bruch Violin Concerto no 1 in G Minor op. 26 Interval Schumann Symphony no. 3 in Eb Rhenish op 97 |
Is there a more expressive violin concerto in the repertoire? As played by the leader of the Cathedral Orchestra, Leo Byrne, this will be a very special performance. It shares the concert with two of Schuman’s mature masterpieces: his interpretation of Byron’s Manfred and the evocative Rhenish Symphony. This is a feast for all lovers of romantic music.
Our next concert, on November 9, includes romantic choral music by Fauré, Franck, Stanford and Parry.

The Lark Ascending is one of the most popular pieces in English music. It shares the concert with Benedicite, another richly expressive work by Vaughan Williams, and lyrical orchestral miniatures by Delius. There are folk-song settings, including a new one by Mike Stubbs and two extended items by local composers: Hilary Burgoyne’s wonderful On a Strange Beach, with Mary Bowell on ‘cello, and the haunting Death and the Lady by John Moseley. Beth Hartless is the soloist in this while Patricia Heyes, so well-known to Merseside audiences, is the solo soprano in Benedicite.
For those who love the violin, Bruch’s Violin Concerto is being played, again by Leo Byrne, on October 12.

Mozart's famous Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is followed by an evocative version of Boccherini's Nights in the Streets of Madrid written specially for the Cathedral Orchestra by Adam Webster. The local young soprano, Julia Smith, sings Berlioz's ravishingly romantic songs Summer Nights (Les Nuits d’Été) . Music by his contemporary, Mendelssohn, concludes the concert: excerpts from the pieces he wrote for Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is an concert full of the romance of a summer's evening.
There is more romantic music on October 12, notably Bruch's Violin Concerto.

Schubert's carefree 5th Symphony contrasts with Beethoven's 7th Symphony, one of the masterpieces of the classical era.
In between comes Robin Hartwell's Insiders and Outsiders, written for Merseyside's expert trumpeter, Paul Thomas. This is a very exciting piece which uses the space of the Cathedral to create special sounds and a unique atmosphere.
On July 6 is another work by a local composer, Hilary Burgoyne, which also uses a solo instrument, in this case the 'cello, played by Mary Bowell.
