About
A woodwind quintet is like a paintbox full of musical colours – and when Galliard Ensemble plays live, there’s no end to the musical fun. Today they deliver a weather report from Cecilia McDowall and savour the Hungarian spice of Liget’s Bagatelle’s. As for Luciano Berio’s brilliantly silly musical trip to the zoo…well, you’ve just got to hear it, really. Please do not feed the bassoon…
Maurice Ravel, arr. Mason Jones Le Tombeau de Couperin (selection)
Cecilia McDowall Subject to the weather
Gyorgy Ligeti Six Bagatelles
Eugène Bozza Scherzo, op. 48
