I'm really enjoying this week's lunchtime concerts featuring performances from the 2018 Mozartfest in Bath, particularly the contributions from London Winds and Angela Hewitt.

Thomas Dunford plays Dowland:
Today Sarah Walker presents a recital of music by John Dowland, the greatest Elizabethan lutenist, who travelled widely throughout Europe and worked at the court of King Christian IV of Denmark. Dowland excelled at writing in the fashionable Elizabethan 'Melancholy' mode and today's performers have chosen works that Dowland wrote in Denmark in this mood.
Including: The King of Denmark, his galliard; Flow my teares; Semper Dowland Semper Dolens; Mellancoly Galliard; Go cristall teares; Lachrimae
Thomas Dunford (lute)
Lea Desandre (mezzo soprano)

Originally posted by LMcD View PostQuite staggering virtuosity and assurance from Mariam Batsashvili in today's Lunchtime Concert. It would perhaps have been interesting to hear her play just one less overtly bravura piece - something by Debussy perhaps - but this was still a very impressive recital indeed.
She’d be great in Alkan I reckon.“Music is the best means we have of digesting time." — Igor Stravinsky

Plenty of notes, almost all the right ones, in today's LC. I'd not heard of Sophie Pacini before but she stormed into my ears with her Chopin, Liszt and Schumann programme, of which I heard only the latter two. Anyone who programmes the Tannhauser transcription as the middle offering in a recital must have extraordinary stamina if they go on to play Carnival and she plainly has. Well worth catching for her playing of Eusebius and Chiarina in particular. The Saint Saens encore was lovely too.
