Lammermuir Festival 4/4 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert Chamber music performances by Trio Gaspard and the newly formed period string ensemble, Spunicunifait.
About
From Holy Trinity Church in Haddington, Trio Gaspard play Schumann’s Fantasiestucke Op.88. These lyrical sketches were written in Schumann's ‘chamber music year’, but he revised them for several years before publishing them. ‘Spunicunifait’ is one of Mozart’s nonsense words and it’s also the name of a new ensemble formed specifically to explore Mozarts string quintets. The members are soloists and directors of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and they play one of Mozart’s late string quintets on period instruments and gut strings.
