SUMMARY:Imogen Cooper and Paul Lewis play Mozart
DESCRIPTION:Two Pianos. Four Hands. Unlimited enjoyment.\nWho’s on stage\nRounding off our classical season\, it’s of course got to be Royal Northern Sinfonia and their Music Director Dinis Sousa. We’ve also got two extremely special guests in the shape of the pianist legends that are Imogen Cooper and Paul Lewis. It’s your last chance to see Imogen in the North East as she retires at the end of this season. \nWhat they’re playing\nWe’re binging a box set of Mozart tonight. You can never have enough\, believe us. We’ve got two overtures and two piano concertos – numbers 10 and 27. \nWhat you’ll hear\n\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart\nLa Clemenza di Tito Overture\nPiano Concerto No. 10\nDon Giovanni Overture\nPiano Concerto No. 27 \nWho’s playing it\n\nDinis Sousa conductor\nImogen Cooper piano\nPaul Lewis piano\nRoyal Northern Sinfonia \n\nWhat’s happening in the music?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo contrasted moods in tonight’s concert. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 10 (for two pianos) is full of the energy of youth – graceful but with drive and verve. No. 27 came later in life. Warm\, uncomplicated and mellow\, it’s uncharacteristically straight to the point for Mozart\, with just the slightest hint of weary resignation. \nhttps://theglasshouseicm.org/whats-on/imogen-cooper-and-paul-lewis-play-mozart/
