An entrancing evening of music from the Jenkinson Farr Duo

Continuing their 50th anniversary season, the Linton Music Society welcome the multi-award-winning Jenkinson Farr Duo. Katherine Jenkinson (cello) and Alison Farr (piano) met as students at the Royal Academy of Music and have now been playing together for ten years. During this time, they have become experts in the cello/piano repertoire and have had music composed especially for them. They have played at The Wigmore Hall, St Martin-in-the-fields and the Southbank Centre.

The irresistible programme includes Vivaldi’s Sonata No6 Rv46, Shostakovich’s Sonata for Cello and Piano Op 40, Fauré’s Elegie and Beethoven’s Sonata in D Major Op 102 No 2.

“…no matter how varied the techniques and musical expressions required, these grand performers mastered the style with awe-inspiring understanding and amazing phrasing and articulation.” Dr RJ Westwell

"Hear'st thou not the brooklets streaming Where sweet spring her blossom strewed, Where the woodland lakes are dreaming, By the marble icons gleaming In sweet nature's solitude?"

The opening concert in our 2009/10 Cambridge Season is an exploration of the Second Viennese School and its glorious transcriptions for Arnold Schoenberg's Society for Private Musical Performances. All three works are incredible journeys: Debussy's Faune journeys to a dream world of erotic fantasy and sensuality; Mahler's protagonist - perhaps Mahler himself - leaves behind his previous life of happiness to embark on a solitary journey to come to terms with his lost love; and Reger takes us on a journey into nature inspired by the poetry of Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, to a world not unlike Debussy's Faune, "Rise, O Sun on high! Trembling in the sky, Earth quivering with ecstasy. Boldly from the night The wooded splendour bright Is drawn in dreams still stirring."
