Today's Shakespeare themed
programme
of music and speech
draws on the
enchanted spirit-world
of Mendelssohn's A
Midsummer Night's
Dream music and
Korngold's Much Ado
About Nothing,
popularly championed
in its violin-and-piano incarnation.
Bridge's 'impression', inspired by Gertrude's
description of Ophelia's suicide in Hamlet,
contrasts with Shostakovich's music for
the same play.
There will be no interval.
