| The Lisney Briggs Duo Sarah Beth Briggs & James Lisney |
It’s rare that nadsaconcerts presents a
piano duo: November’s performance will be quite an event.
The Lisney Briggs Duo (Courtenay Centre,
Newton Abbot, Friday 16th November) is the collaboration of two
distinguished international pianists - also renowned chamber musicians - James
Lisney and Sarah Beth Briggs. Both showed early talent: Sarah Beth, aged 11,
became the then youngest finalist at the BBC Young Musician of the Year, and
James gave his Wigmore Hall debut aged 24.
Their partnership of several seasons has
met with acclaim:
"Throughout their entire programme there was near perfection in all aspects of their art."
Sarah Beth and James have devised a varied
programme. Whilst their focus together has been on the great works of Mozart
and Schubert, widely regarded as the pinnacle of piano duet repertoire, they
will also perform Dvořák, Fauré, Ravel and Gál (1890 – 1987), bringing their concert into the latter half of the
twentieth century. Some of us of a certain age will well remember the 'Berceuse' from Fauré’s 'Dolly Suite': the signature tune of ‘Listen with Mother.
As well
as a wonderful concert, we will be entertained by their informative and amusing
presentational style.
The concert is sponsored by ‘Buyrite Tyres’.
