LSO St Luke's Artist Focus Series.
Ian Skelly presents the second of four concerts recorded earlier this summer at LSO St Luke's in London, with the spotlight on clarinet player and composer Mark Simpson, who is joined by pianist Richard Uttley. The concert opens with music by Debussy, his rhapsody written as an examination piece but is full of impressionistic colours and textures. The duo include a work written by Mark himself in 2006: 'Lov(escape)', and follow it with a work commissioned by Mark, a piece by Edmund Finnis called Four Duets. The concert ends with Weber's show-stopping piece, the flamboyant Grand Duo Concertant, full of virtuosic melodic writing for both clarinet and piano. Debussy: Rhapsody. Edmund Finnis: Four Duets. Mark Simpson: Lov(escape). Gavin Higgins: Three Broken Love Songs. Weber: Grand Duo Concertant. Mark Simpson (clarinet), Richard Uttley (piano).

LSO St Luke's Artist Focus Series.
Ian Skelly concludes the week of Lunchtime Concerts recorded at LSO St Luke's in June, each showcasing exceptional British musicians. Today, Benjamin Grosvenor who treats listeners to music by Robert Schumann and Ravel. Schumann's Kreisleriana was written after a character in one of ETA Hoffmann's stories, each short movement showing a different side to his character, and was one of Schumann's favourite of his own compositions. Ben follows this with one of the most formidable works of the piano repertoire, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit. Ravel had set out to make one of these movements, Scarbo, as hard as possible to play, to beat Balakirev's Islamey. It's inspired by a set of poems that tell of a Persian medieval character called Gaspard, the man in charge of the dark and mysterious treasures of the night. Schumann: Kreisleriana. Ravel: Gaspard de la Nuit. Benjamin Grosvenor (piano).
