James Gilchrist, Sholto Kynoch

Renowned tenor James Gilchrist and pianist Sholto Kynoch return to Bangor to complete their survey of Schubert's extraordinary song cycles.

Tonight they perform Schwanengesang, a collection of songs from the last months of Schubert's life. Though they were not in fact intended as a cycle by the composer, and were grouped together by his publisher following his death, they make for an arresting insight into Schubert's late style, with the composer at the height of his powers.

Sholto Kynoch also plays Schubert's glorious piano sonata in A major, D959.
