Ben Goldscheider has given recitals at major concert halls across Europe, making his BBC Proms concerto debut in 2022. A committed chamber musician, in 2023/4 he will premiere multiple commissions for horn, including chamber, solo and concerti works. He was a BBC Young Musician Concerto Finalist in 2016 and is principal horn of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.
Hyeyoon Park is an artist of outstanding focus and virtuosity, combining effortlessly rich sonority with musical integrity. A passionate chamber musician, she regularly appears at major festivals and venues such as Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw, and London’s Southbank Centre.
Prize winning pianist, Fiachra Garvey, performs at venues such as Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall Manchester, Snape Maltings Aldeburgh, and Wexford Opera House. He is the founder and artistic director of the West Wicklow Chamber Music Festival.
In a wonderful, varied programme, we open with the impressionistic chords and beautiful singing violin of one of Takemitsu’s earlier works. Edith Boroff’s idiomatic Horn Sonata then takes us back in time through four melodic and tonal sound movements that move from the Romantic, through the Classical and Renaissance to the Medieval era. The A minor violin Sonata reveals Schumann’s true Romanticism and the yearning, agitation and despair of his descent into the mental illness that was to drive him to suicide a few years later. A complete contrast follows with Huw Watkins’ Horn Trio, a short single movement piece that alternates driving rhythmic passages with slower, contemplative music. The concert concludes with another Romantic work, Brahms’ magnificent Horn Trio. Inspired by the Black Forest where it was written, Brahms displays the lyricism and lively rhythm of a woodland scene from atmospheric calm to a hunt in full cry.
