| Note: | |
Apart from the works listed above, there will be a number of other pieces, in a revival of the musical entertainment from the beginning of the 20th century. The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra is an ensemble that specializes in the type of light classical music often referred to as 'Palm Court Music' or 'Salon Music'. The group consists of a string quartet, piano, flute and oboe, a combination well suited to recreate the sound of the original palm court orchestras. Aspidistra's lively interpretation of the music that so delighted our (great) grandparents still has an immediate appeal today. For youngsters, it can be a first introduction to classical music while for classical music connoisseurs, the quality and inventiveness of this music often comes as a total surprise. The programme consists of a mixture of instrumental numbers and a few parlour songs, performed by Elizebeth Menezes. Aspidistra likes to strike a balance between well-known tunes and some rarely performed material, deserving to be better known. |
