I wanted to find out how the band was coping with the change from 4 piece to 5 piece and what's...
Works Performed: Schubert: Rosamunde Overture Beethoven: Symphony No.8 Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1
The overture used to accompany Chézy’s unsuccessful play Rosamunde was actually composed for an earlier play. It remains one of Schubert’s finest orchestral pieces, filled with ingratiating tunes and demonstrating his characteristic warmheartedness and good humour.

Conductor Karl-Heinz Steffens, soloist John Lill (piano)
Fingal’s Cave opens with a mesmerizing rhythmic figure that transforms a delicately embellished downward arpeggio into an undulating melody. As this theme unfolds, extended crescendos and diminuendos in the winds and brass give the impression of ocean swells before gradually giving way to an exquisitely lyrical statement sung by cellos and bassoons.
