| Wigmore Hall, London, 36 Wigmore Street, London W1U 2BP, United Kingdom Sunday 30-Jun-13 07:30pm Les liaisons dangereuses This year’s annual Royal College of Music string showcase at the Wigmore Hall is based around a series of “dangerous liaisons” between composers and their muses. So we hear Janáček’s take on Tolstoy, and Prokofiev’s take on Shakespeare. We hear Martinů get to grips with Rossini, and Szymanowski get to grips with Paganini. We find out what came out of Britten’s meeting with Rostropovich, and of Walton’s meeting with Julian Bream. And, of course, we discover the most dangerous liaison of all, in the shape of Tartini’s encounter with the devil himself… Prokofiev, Sergey (1891-1953), Romeo and Juliet Suite no. 1, Op.64bis (arr Borisovsky) | ||
