This concert is in the Philharmonic Hall and looks to being a highlight of the season. Oswald is a piece of music theatre inspired by the Austrian poet, composer, and traveller Oswald von Wolkenstein (1377 – 1445). Composer, poet, warrior, diplomat, traveller, lover... Oswald von Wolkenstein was a renaissance man before his time! Following the release of his acclaimed recent recording of Oswald's music, and as part of a Europe-wide tour, Andreas Scholl and the early-music group The Shield of Harmony have devised this astonishing night of theatre, using images, drama and of course music to take us into Oswald's world – and bring his world vividly into ours. ‘Scholl's voice rushes through the bloodstream, so tender and gravely beautiful that time seems to stand still.’ The Times ‘Undoubtedly the best equipped countertenor of the day, perhaps any day.’ Opera Magazine Tokyo String Quartet Photo Credit: Henry J. Fair Tuesday, 4 May 2010 7.30pm St George's Hall Concert Room Barber String Quartet, Op.11 Takemitsu A Way A Lone Schumann String Quartet, Op.41 No.3 The Rodewald welcomes a visit by the Tokyo String Quartet who celebrates their 40th anniversary. Piano Recital Richard Goode, piano Saturday, 15 May 2010 7.30pm St George's Hall Concert Room Programme will include music by Bach and Chopin and Schubert's Sonata in B flat, Op. posth. Richard Goode’s playing is too fresh for him to be dubbed an ‘elder statesman’ – but there’s no denying that his years of engagement with the greatest music in the piano repertoire has given him profound insight into whatever he plays. This programme promises an evening of visionary music-making, as Goode journeys from Bach to the sublimest heights of the Romantic era. ‘Richard Goode's performance took the breath away with its sheer, heart- stopping beauty.’ The Guardian. Belcea String Quartet and London Winds Tuesday, 15 June 2010 7.30pm St George's Hall Concert Room Brahms String Quartet No.2 Schubert Octet A welcome return of the Belcea Quartet.
