Songs, dances and secrets… Tonight, Jonathan Aasgaard, leader of the Orchestra’s cello section, joins pianist Ian Buckle in a recital that embraces both the smoky Spanish flavours of Manuel de Falla, and Benjamin Britten’s intensely personal tribute to a Russian great. And the cello’s magical, melodic tones allow these songs to simply soar.
