St James's Church Piccadilly, W1J 9LL , [Venue Details]A programme of playful song cycles inspired by dreams and imagination!
Programme
Join soprano Betty Makharinsky and pianist Pavel Timofeyevsky for a lunchtime recital. Britten’s ‘On This Island’ captures vivid scenes of nature and human experience set to Auden’s evocative poetry. Mussorgsky’s ‘The Nursery’ brings childhood moments to life with humour and tenderness, while Poulenc’s ‘La Courte Paille’ delights in whimsical vignettes. The programme concludes with the lush lyricism of Rachmaninoff’s ‘Dream’ and delicate beauty of Debussy’s ‘Nuit d’étoiles’.
