Three recitals programmed by Colin Matthews to showcase three exceptional string players, each featuring major works for their instrument by Benjamin Britten, together with a work of Schumann and a work of his own. Britten's Third Cello Suite, written for Rostropovich, is one of his last works, eloquent and elegiac. Lachrymae, for viola and piano, composed in 1950, transforms the music of John Dowland in a moving sequence of variations. The 1935 Suite for Violin and Piano is virtuosic and dynamic: the young composer flexing his muscles.
