DEBUSSY Images for Piano: Book 1 (15’)
STRAVINSKY Two pieces from ‘The Firebird’ (8’)
DEBUSSY Images for Piano: Book 2 (14’)
DEBUSSY Violin Sonata in G minor (14’)

This late-night performance conjures up the sounds of an early 20th century Parisian night. Surrounding two pieces from Stravinsky’s breakthrough ballet ‘The Firebird’ are both books of Debussy’s Images, evoking the Seine, celestial imagery and the suggestion of bells. Concluding with his capricious Violin Sonata, Debussy’s last work, bursting with intense musical ideas, this set of virtuosic fireworks concludes an impressionistic evening in the city of light.

About the Artists

Ensemble 360

Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK not only for the quality and integrity of its playing, but also for its ability to communicate the music to a range of different audiences. Formed in 2005, 11 musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in Sheffield with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group of five string players, five wind players and a pianist. The musicians believe that concerts should be informal, friendly and relaxed occasions, and perform ‘in the round’ wherever possible. Critical acclaim has greeted all the group’s CDs to date: Mozart and Spohr (ASV Gold), Beethoven and Poulenc (Nimbus Alliance).
