Three elegant, delicate and sweet little works in one evening.
They move from Schubert’s Octet, a winning combination of joviality, delicate melancholy, technical finesse and rhythmic dash, to the chamber version of Mozart's Serenade for Winds in E-flat Major, culminating in Gounod’s Petite Symphonie that exhibits a Classical clarity of form and phrase structure with shades of Romantic harmony and expressivity.
A glorious opportunity to see the Principals sharing the spotlight.
