August is usually the month of the Snape Proms, but there is no actual promming this year. Last night I heard Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver in:
Deirdre McKay (b.1972): 'a quarter million miles from the moon' (written for this duo and first given by them in 2016)
Beethoven Kreutzer (recte Bridgetower?) Sonata
Franck: Sonata
(Encore) Lili Boulanger: D'un matin de printemps
This was a thoroughly enjoyable concert with great rapport between the artists, who showed their evident joy in performing for a live audience. If I enjoyed the Beethoven the most, that certainly wasn't because anything else was substandard! An enterprising choice of encore, too.
