Following her spell-binding performance in
partnership with the Consone Quartet in 2024, we are delighted that Helen
Charlston returns this year with pianist Sholto Kynoch in a programme that
weaves together music from across the centuries, juxtaposing works from
the Baroque with Romantic and contemporary songs. Their selection
highlights a tapestry of human experience that transcends temporal
constraints, and nowhere more vividly than in Schumann’s captivating
sequence of songs set to poems by Justinus Kerner. In these pieces, the
composer truly reveals his own soul and personality.
"Supremely
sensitive playing from Kynoch, Charlston mesmerising with the blackcurrant
quality of her voice, her even tone [and] liquid phrasing. A triumphant
recital" The Guardian
