This week on The Full Score we’ll hear highlights from Chamber Choir Ireland’s recent concert, To Star the Dark, with Gabriel Crouch making his debut as Artistic Director. In partnership with Clonmel’s Finding a Voice festival, the programme spotlights women composers, with works by some of the brightest lights in choral music today including Amanda Feery and Emma O’Halloran.
Fiachra Garvey, founder and artistic director of the West Wicklow Chamber Music Festival and London’s Classical Vauxhall, continues to enrich the chamber music scene at home and in the UK with imaginative programming. Today’s Full Score concert comes from his recent recital in Wigmore Hall and features a compelling pairing of sonatas by Beethoven and Rachmaninov. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Op. 109
Rachmaninov: Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor Op. 28
