An die ferne geliebtLudwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)1411:10
        1. Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend 2. Wo die Berge so blau 3. Leichte Segler in den Höhen 4. Diese Wolken in den Höhen 5. Es kehret der Maien, es blühet die Au 6. Nimm sie hin denn, diese Lieder
Nicholas Xiao, Voice
Rhodri Clarke, piano
Beethoven's only song cycle was the precursor of a series of followers, including those of Schubert and Schumann. Beethoven himself called it Liederkreis, i.e. a ring of song, and it is so written that the theme of the first song reappears as the conclusion of the last, forming a 'circle' (Kreis) – a ring in the figurative sense of a finger-ring as a love-token – rather than a 'cycle' (Zyklus) in the sense of a programme or drama. As a through-composed piece, none of the six songs stands alone. The music and text explore the inward feeling of longing of a distant lover, who is possibly in heaven, as parts of the text imply.

Sonata No.18 in E flat major Opus 31, No.3 “The Hunt”Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827)711:26
        I. Allegro
Sarah Bouquet, Piano
The Piano Sonata Op.31 No.3 was written by Beethoven in 1802. A playful jocularity is maintained throughout the piece, earning it the occasional nickname of The Hunt, although like many of Beethoven's early works, the 'jocular' style can be heard as a facade, concealing profound ideas and depths of emotion. The form of the sonata is unusual because it does not have a slow movement, which is instead replaced with a scherzo and followed by a minuet, before launching into the spirited finale.

Scene de Ballet op.100Charles-Auguste de Beriot (1802 - 1870)1011:35
       
Alice Arakane, Violin
Rhodri Clarke, piano
Amongst many of Beriot’s compositions, this piece ‘Scene de Ballet’ has been a favourite to all. It’s virtuosic and variety in characters throughout the piece bring out the influences Beriot had from contemporaries such as Paganini. This piece takes us through three main sections, or ideas.

NotturnoOttorino Respighi (1879 - 1936)812:08
       
Jonathan Morrison, Piano
Best known for his orchestral tone poems, Ottorino Respighi was one of the most important Italian composers of the early 20th century who made several important contributions to the modern piano repertoire. This harmonically rich work is the third in a suite entitled Sei Pezzi Per Pianoforte, composed between 1903-1905.
  
  
Jazz Prelude VIMartial Solal (1927 - )
       
Jonathan Morrison, Piano
The sixth in a set of seven preludes published in 1991. This work is an excellent example of this Algerian-French composer’s style: a fun and challenging jazz interpretation of a classical form, with many musically interesting and satisfying moments.
