Strings loom large this week. Two fine string quartets, the Benyounes and Callino quartets, each give concerts before combining forces at the end of the week for the Mendelssohn Octet. The cellist Rohan de Saram plays music Luciano Beri wrote specially for him – before which he will demonstrate on the Kandayan drum the Sri Lankan rhythms which inspired Berio. There will also be recitals by violinist Markus Daunert and violist Paul Silverthorne, and we also welcome the younger generation: Hungarian violist Eniko Magyar plays Berlioz’s Harold in Italy conducted by Sian Edwards. Not everything is for strings: James Oxley sings Schubert’s Winterreise, Daniel Adni plays Schumann, Chopin and Liszt, and John Lubbock conducts the Choir in Mozart’s great Requiem.
