Programmes Notes
For each of our tours, we commission influential writers to add flavour to our programmes. Cathal Twomey wrote the notes for Claire Duff and Benjamin Alard's 'Inspiring Bach' programme, and composer Jane O'Leary supplied a note for her piece, 'Fantasia'. Read them here.

"Under the ambiguous title 'Inspiring Bach' these two musicians caught the tinkling melodies, the soaring heights and melancholic depths of a baroque genius."

"Exceptionally stylish, Ms Duff's colourful playing also caressed darker viola hues in moments of tender deliberation. [...] [Alard] elicited an unusual range of tone... One could be excused for mistaking it, at times, for an 18th Century fortepiano."
