The wonderful violinist Jennifer Pike makes a welcome return to Ulverston and is joined by the ever-popular pianist Martin Roscoe. Their programme juxtaposes Mozart’s Violin Sonata in G major, a masterwork of balance and charm, with Debussy’s shimmering Violin Sonata. Brahms’s Four Klavierstucke - the deeply expressive and very final works he wrote for piano - and Clara Schumann’s Three Romances bring tenderness and intimacy to the centre of the evening, while Grieg’s spirited Violin Sonata No.?1 in F?major concludes the programme with Nordic freshness and youthful vitality.
