Ludwig van Beethoven – Bagatelle in C Major
Sergei Prokofiev – Visions fugitives, Op. 22
Robert Schumann – Waldszenen (Forest Scenes), Op. 82
Ludwig van Beethoven – Six Bagatelles, Op. 126

Cordelia Williams’ imaginative programming of Beethoven, Schumann, and Prokofiev earmarks her as a defiantly original performer. Her Beethoven – early and late career – evidences a disciplined, technically flawless artist. Her boldly expressive playing of Schumann’s Waldszenen displays a profound affinity for German Romanticism. Her insights into Prokofiev’s rarely heard Visions Fugitives allow her to elicit a myriad of colors from her Steinway ‘D’ Concert Grand Covers. Altogether a highly recommended first-class recording enhanced by the faultless engineering of Paul Arden-Taylor and the insightful liner notes of Michael Quinn.

The Happy Music Play Book
Cordelia Williams
– easy, joyful, everyday games for music and creativity with little kids (and passing some time when you’re out of inspiration).

Cordelia’s first book is for parents of small children who would like to introduce joyful music-making into everyday family life. It was written while caring for two rambunctious boys under four, and tested on them to pass the days of lockdown.

Designed around the daily routine of young children, these miniature games and explorations encourage a natural instinct for music and lay the foundations for creativity and self-expression.

Krysia Osostowicz, Konrad Elias-Trostmann (violins), Alinka Rowe, Jenna Sherry (violas) Joseph Barker (cello)

Schubert’s heart-rendingly melancholy Fantasie for piano duet, followed by one of Beethoven’s most exuberant works, the string quintet in C, nicknamed “the Storm”.

Schubert – Fantasie in F minor for piano duet
Beethoven – String Quintet in C major, op 29

6pm, Lavethan, Blisland, Bodmin, Cornwall PL30 4QG

CONTRASTS
Cordelia Williams (piano), Robert Plane (clarinet), Alinka Rowe (viola), Krysia Osostowicz (violin)

Mozart’s trio for the unusual combination of clarinet, viola and piano is richly mellow throughout, contrasting strongly with the mysterious and mercurial quality of the violin sonata written by Debussy near the end of his life. Bartok’s love of Debussy’s music can be sensed in his extraordinary “Contrasts”, another unusual trio combination, composed in New York for the great violinist Joseph Szigeti and jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman, with Bartok himself at the piano.

Mozart – Trio for viola, clarinet and piano in E Flat, “Kegelstatt”
Debussy – Sonata for violin and piano
Bartok – “Contrasts” for violin, clarinet and piano

15/08/2020 | New plans in development…

Schubert: Four Impromptus D899
From the sultry passion of Rachmaninov, and Prokofiev’s whimsical, other-worldly ‘Fleeting Visions’, to the meditative intensity of the Estonian Arvo Pärt, this recital explores the soundworlds of Eastern Europe. Leoš Janacek wrote the cycle ‘V mlhách’ during a dark and uncertain period of his life – the four folk-influenced movements seem shrouded at times, but glow with intimacy and introspection.

Messiaen:
Vingt Regards sur L’Enfant-Jésus (complete)

“A shout of joy on the brink of the abyss”: composer, pianist, visionary and believer, Olivier Messiaen saw the worst that the 20th century had to offer, and responded with music of cosmic beauty, exuberance and colour. This immersive three-day series of performances revolves around the epic cycle Vingt regards sur l’enfant-Jésus: but pianist Cordelia Williams is also joined by other major exponents of Messiaen’s music to bring one of the last century’s most innovative and life-affirming composers brilliantly into focus. For information on other events during the three days, click here. This festival follows Cordelia Williams’ project Messiaen 2015.

After Hours: Connesson (follows the performance of Connesson by the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, 7.30pm)
With Emma Richards, viola

Connesson: Initials Dances
Ravel: Valses Nobles et Sentimentales
Connesson: Constellation de la Couronne Boréale (for viola and piano)

A concert featuring two pieces by French composer Guillaume Connesson and a classic work by one of his influences, Maurice Ravel. The three Initials Dances from 2001 demonstrate Connesson’s varied influences. They are named ‘R’ for Rameau, ‘S’ for slow in a passionate minuet and finally ‘FK’ for Funk in a wild, rhythmic piece. More dances follow, with Ravel’s elegantly sensual waltzes, written in homage to Schubert in 1823. Connesson’s 2007 piece ‘Constellation Corona Borealis’, said to be where the souls of kings, poets and musicians seek refuge after death, mixes a glittering ascension and a descent into darkness.

Cordelia Williams – one of Britain’s most exciting young pianists – presents this classical recital with a difference. Inspired by the Art Cafés of Vienna and Paris, she created Café Muse in London to make classical music a lot more sociable, performing in bars and cafés and getting rave reviews. Her first Café Muse event in Nottingham was a sell out and a total hit. After that we couldn’t wait to bring her back, and this time she’s joined by violist, Emma Richards, to perform music by Schumann, Brahms and Britten. As before, there will be plenty of chances to chat with the performers in between items, and you can also enjoy delicious sharing platters of tapas which you can pre-order before the show (at a discount) or on the evening.
