Vividly present playing & discreet virtuosity from Ensemble 360 at the launch of Music in the Round's 2022 Sheffield Chamber Music Festival
[…] takes place in the Crucible Studio Theatre, launched last night, Friday 13 May 2022, with a programme of largely Czech chamber music performed by members of Ensemble 360, the festival resident ensemble.

Whatever is left is of a remarkably high quality: listen, for example, to this wonderful song, Chanson triste, performed by Elly Ameling. Duparc died on February 12th of 1933 in Mont-de-Marsan, completely blind and partially paralyzed. He was 85. One of the most interesting violinists of the 20th century, Mischa Elman was also born this week, on January 20th of 1891, in a small town of Talnoye not far from Kyiv. From 1897 to 1902 he studied the violin in Odessa with the virtuoso violinist and teacher Alexander Fiedemann. In 1903 he so impressed the visiting Leopold Auer that the famed pedagogue took Mischa to […]
