Overview
Gemma Rosefield, whose Wigmore Hall debut wasdescribed by The Strad as ‘a mesmerising musicaltreasure’, returns in partnership with Tim Horton.
The sumptuous textures and serious dialogue ofBrahms’s First Cello Sonata provide contrast withBeethoven’s ebullient Variations on ‘See theconqu’ring hero comes’ and Martin’s RossiniVariations, written in 1942 for Gregor Piatigorsky.
