Britten Sinfonia at Lunch 4

BBC New Generation artist, Gwilym Simcock sits at the meeting point of classical and jazz music. Hailed as both a gifted pianist and imaginative composer, Gwilym presents a new work scored for piano trio in which he will also perform. Forming the perfect partner to Gwilym’s work Ravel’s Piano Trio has a texture of sound unusually rich for a chamber work and is known for the high level of virtuosity required. Messian’s Louange a l’mortalite Jesus is a movement from his Quartet for the End of Time, composed while Messiaen was held in a prison of war camp.
