PLAYERS of Royal Northern Sinfonia treated a virtual audience to a selection of their personal favourites, showcasing their individual talents and collective strength, at the latest concert live streamed from Sage Gateshead. With the year marking the centenary of tango master Astor Piazzola, what better work to form the core of the specially-curated programme than his Four Season of Buenos Aires. Four violinists stepped from the ranks to lead the different seasons, each bringing their own distinctive flair. Spring was fronted by Marie Schreer who attacked the rhythms with gutsy bowing, while her rhapsodic lines had a sensuous flow. The foot-stamping Summer was propelled forward with vigour by Gaëlle-Anne Michel, who took relish in the tremolos and glissandi, ending with a flourish, to strains of Vivaldi’s Winter.
8 am ET: Wigmore Hall presents Michael Collins & Michael McHale. The clarinetist and pianist’s program includes Joseph Horovitz’s Sonatina which premièred at Wigmore Hall in 1981. Widor’s
Introduction et rondo was composed in 1898. At its première in 1935, Bax’s clarinet sonata was actually played twice; it was repeated in the program when the sheet music for a work by Lennox Berkeley was lost in the post. Each of the four
Time Pieces by Robert Muczynski highlights a characteristic of the clarinet in terms of range, technical prowess, tone color, and expressiveness. Register, view here and on demand for 30 days. LIVE

The Royal Northern Sinfonia handed its players artistic control of the programme for this livestream from the Sage, Gateshead and if the result lacked coherence it certainly had the variety and diversity missing from the Wigmore Hall Nash Ensemble recital I reviewed last month.
