Jeneba Kanneh-Mason returns to play one of
Mozart’s most popular concertos.
Jeneba plays his Piano Concerto No. 23, with its intensely
beautiful F# minor slow movement. She was named one of Classic FM’s
‘Rising Stars’ and appeared on Julian Lloyd Webber’s radio series in 2021. She has also been featured on several television and radio programmes and has
recorded the album Carnival, with Decca Classics.
KANNEH-MASON
Dvořák’s Czech Suite is a sunny composition suffused with foot-tapping dance numbers, including the polka, the sousedska and the Furiant – a rapid and fiery Bohemian dance alternating 2/4 and 3/4
time with frequently shifting accents.
Dina Appeldoorm was a romantic Dutch composer and pianist of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Her compositions range from symphonies and orchestral pieces to chamber music and a children’s operetta. Her Pastorale was composed late in life and is a short piece that is beautifully evocative and sensual.
Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 ‘Italian’ has its origins in the tour of Europe he undertook during the years 1829-1831. Its inspiration is the colour and atmosphere of Italy, where he made sketches but left the work incomplete. He finished it in Berlin in 1833, although it still reflects his love of Italy, glowing with warmth and radiating joie de vivre, especially in the exuberantly whirling saltarello finale.
