Obra: Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé

Don Quixote provides the inspiration for songs by Ravel and Ibert, the high point of a bitty programme in contrast to an early evening recital which followed the perfect trajectory.

Anssi Karttunen  gracefully mastered the difficulties of Magnus Lindberg's score, marrying the serialist tendencies of his early opuses with more ear-pleasing tonal figments.

Mary Bevan’s bewitching soprano is the star of a glorious programme of music by Ravel and his contemporaries.
