Bellini and Chopin: Weeping in Song is a recital by pianists Thomas Harris and Aldemir Tokov, with tenor Gyula Rab in a programme which compares and contrasts music by Chpin, Bellini and Verdi, along with Liszt paraphrases. Patrick Bade gives an illustrated talk. (2/3/2014).
Further ahead, the concerts visit Vienna, St Petersburg, Paris, and London and follow the footsteps of Byron, Liszt, Berlioz, Schubert, Britten, Shostakovich with performances from Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque, pianist Ferenc Rados, cellist Aleksei Kiseliov and pianist Itmar Golan.
