On the 100th anniversary of the death of Gabriel Fauré, this concert celebrates the composer’s lyrical romanticism with works from the 1870s to the 1890s, including the great first Sonata. Saint-Saëns’ own first Sonata and Ravel’s one movement Sonate Posthume complete a programme that will transport you to the magic of fin-de-siècle Paris.

Fenella Humphreys and Martin Roscoe are two of the UK’s most celebrated soloists and chamber musicians, and their affinity with this repertoire is unmatched. Of his  Fauré playing, Gramophone praised Roscoe’s ‘irresistible momentum in the outer movements, matching the composer’s unstoppable flow of ideas’, while The Scotsman applauded Fenella’s ‘golden precision and effortless virtuosity’.
