The concert begins with Beethoven’s only song cycle, A die ferne Geliebte (To the far away beloved) [sung in Jeremy Sams’ expert English translation]. Roderick then provides the music for the beloved’s response, set to words by poet Rommi Smith. At last, Beethoven’s title character finally has the chance to give her side of the story in this world premiere of Roderick’s song cycle.
About the Ray Golding Sunset Series: Named after the founder of the Festival, these one-hour concerts are a terrific starting point for newcomers as well as a chance for those who know their music well to hear favourite works.
