John Toal presents highlights from the 20th West Cork Chamber Music Festival.
We begin in the opulence and grandeur of the Library in Bantry House for Ravel's setting of 3 Poems by the French Symbolist poet St茅phane Mallarm茅. Written in 1913 they were inspired by Stravinsky's Three Japanese Lyrics for voice and chamber ensemble: music he heard during his time in Clarens, Switzerland, with the composer. It's performed here by an exciting set of musicians visiting the Festival.
From Bantry House we move to St. Brendan's Church for a performance for Jan谩cek's Ml谩d铆 - "Youth" - although Jan谩cek was a distinguished 70 by the time he wrote it in 1924. He'd been talking about early memories for a proposed biography, and this four-movement piece is a musical reflection on his childhood in Moravia and singing in the Augustinian monastery in Brno.
Today's concert concludes in St. Brendan's with Thomas Ad猫s' Arcadiana. The seven-movement work, written in 1994, is performed by graduates of the Radio 3 New Generation Scheme the Signum Quartet.
