Weber - Grand Duo Concertant in Eb Op. 48
Benjamin - Le Tombeau de Ravel
Milhaud - Scaramouche Op. 165b (arr. for clarinet and piano)
Poulenc - Sonata for clarinet and piano

To conclude his year-long Wigmore Hall residency, Michael Collins is in partnership with virtuoso pianist Piers Lane. Their programme concentrates on arguably the three most often-heard masterworks for clarinet and piano but it will also be fascinating to hear the rarely performed tribute to Ravel by Arthur Benjamin, perhaps better known as Britten’s piano teacher and composer of Jamaican Rumba.

Programme:
Dvořák - Czech Suite [arr. Sheen]
Strauss - Sonatina for Winds
'From an Invalid's Workshop'

Michael Collins, Director

Writing for wind instruments was in Strauss’ blood. His father was an excellent horn player and the young composer grew up listening to him play with friends at home, and – maybe because of this – a glow of warmth and affection permeates every bar of his Sonatina. Dvořák’s suite, originally for orchestra, loses none of its folksy charm and sheer good spirits in this lovely arrangement.

SCHUBERT - Octet in F D803

About this concert:
A dream partnership between members of London Winds and the Belcea Quartet promises to give a performance of a lifetime in Schubert’s genial and spaciously proportioned Octet.
Schubert was a prominent inspiration when Brahms came to tackle several chamber music forms, and his lyricism haunts this Second String Quartet.
Listen out especially for further fruit of the Wigmore’s alliance with its inaugural Composer in Residence, Luke Bedford.

SAINT-SAËNS - Clarinet Sonata in E flat Op.167
PIERNÉ - Canzonetta Op. 19
MESSAGER - Solo de concours

A star pairing of Britain’s finest clarinet virtuoso with one of our most imaginative and stimulating pianists. Their programme is virtually a conspectus of a century’s clarinet-and-piano highlights ranging from Schumann’s lyrical and passionate Fantasy Pieces of 1849 to one of Brahms’s late-flowering masterpieces for Richard Mühlfeld of the legendary Meiningen orchestra.

It then moves on to a French feast for the ear from old veteran Saint-Saëns at the end of his life, via some competition fireworks, to Olivier Messiaen as prisoner of war in 1941.
