Another memorable musical experience! The Dorset Chamber Orchestra conducted by Walter Brewster at St. Mary's Church, Dorchester, with Weymouth-born soloist Duncan Honeybourne.
Two great piano concertos, by Schumann and Adolf von Henselt, in the same programme.
I am constantly astounded by the quality and convenient accessibility of musical activity in Dorset and Dorchester in particular.
The excellent programme:
Overture ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Mendelssohn
Piano Concerto in A minor – Schumann
Variations on a theme by Haydn – Brahms
Piano Concerto in F minor – Henselt
Fascinating programme notes by Walter Brewster, about the background to his search for and rediscovery of the full score and parts of the Henselt piano concerto, heard last night for the first time in a century.
