An English Summer

Performed by James Meldrum (clarinet) and Maciej Kassak (piano), this vibrant collaboration celebrates the rich, characterful sound-world of 20th century England. There’s sparkling wit in Arnold’s Sonatina and the lyrical intimacy of Finzi’s Five Bagatelles, while John Ireland’s evocative Fantasy adds sweeping romantic colour. The concert closes with Herbert Howell’s emotionally resonant Sonata and with the irresistibly charming Sonatina by Horovitz.
