Angela Hewitt plays Bach’s Goldberg Variations
Sat 30 May 2009 Town Hall
Bach’s Goldberg Variations is regarded as one of classical music’s most iconic works: a universal masterpiece that somehow reconciles simplicity and complexity, pleasure and profundity, music and mathematics. Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt is one of the work’s greatest living interpreters, playing it here in the intimate surroundings of Town Hall. *Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall says of tonight’s recommended concert:* _After Leif Ove Andsnes appearing in the Town Hall earlier in May, what a treat to welcome another phenomenal pianist, Angela Hewitt before the month is out. Angela Hewitt is also one of many musicians who keeps fans up-to-date with an online blog on her official website•angelahewitt.com You can keep track of her relentless performance schedule (one day Rome, the next London before moving onto Ottawa ..) as well as read the latest reviews of her concerts. Tonight an opportunity to hear the work of genius that is Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Astonishing to think that Johann Sebastian was commissioned to compose the piece by a nobleman desperate for a good night’s sleep. Poor old Count Kayserling, who was a great supporter of Bach’s, suffered with insomnia. One of his musical employees, Johann Goldberg, was tasked with playing the Variations in an attempt to lull his Master to sleep._ "Classic FM":http://www.classicfm.co.uk *6.15pm Pre-concert talk* £5-£30 The concert will finish at approx. 9pm. Please note there is no interval.

Natalie Clein & Alina Ibragimova play Solo Bach
Sun 31 May 2009 Town Hall
Two of today’s most eagerly watched young soloists share a programme of Bach masterpieces for solo violin and cello. No young cellist has made more impact than Natalie Clein, and violinist Alina Ibragimova was described recently by The Times as “destined to be a force in the classical music firmament for decades to come.” Bach’s Second Solo Violin Partita includes the towering Chaconne in D minor-one of the ultimate peaks of the violin repertoire-whilst the Cello Suites glow with life-affirming joy and expressivity.
*Natalie Clein* cello *Alina Ibragimova* violin
*Bach* Cello Suite No 1 in G, BWV1007 17’ *Bach* Violin Partita No 2 in D minor, BWV1004 29’ *Bach* Violin Sonata No 1 in G minor, BWV1001 16’ *Bach* Cello Suite No 3 in C, BWV1009 20’
