Our series of three concerts with Tamsin and Cordelia features music to be enjoyed at different times of the day. Bach’s early F minor sonata was believed by his son, CPE Bach, to be “among the best works of my dear father.” Arvo Pärt’s profoundly beautiful Spiegel im Spiegel (‘Mirror in the Mirror’) was his last work written before he moved from Estonia to the west in1978, but one of his earliest minimalist pieces. Violinist Joseph Joachim, who premiered Schumann’s 2nd Violin Sonata, declared that the work “overflows with noble passion…one of the finest compositions of our time.”

Waley-Cohen’s playing is radiant and soaring.The Sunday Times
