“There is nothing like them in music for the sheer intensity of their concentrated, gentle heartache. It is music so bewitchingly sensuous, so achingly nostalgic … as to defy description.” (The LA Phil on Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs.)

Tonight’s performance of these songs of farewell (– to life, to art, to a vanished world) is dedicated to the memory of James Flynn KC, a brilliant man and a generous supporter of music in the Temple and beyond.

The rest of the programme for this very special recital will be announced in due course.
