Soprano Ruby Hughes joins forces with cellist Natalie Clein and pianist Julius Drake for an intimate concert of lyrical, lively and folk-influenced works.

‘Hirt auf dem felsen’ (The Shepherd on the Rock) and ‘Auf dem Strom’ (On the River) are two beautifully balanced visions of nature and longing.

The spare, pure writing of John Tavener in his Akhmatova Songs contrasts with Brahms’ opulent harmonies in the two Songs Op.91, with cello alongside the voice.

Next, Britten’s folksong arrangements rub musical shoulders with the edgy writing of Deborah Pritchard’s Storm Song and Ravel’s evocation of the Hebrew prayer, the Kaddisch.

Clein and Drake also perform Janáček’s enchanting Pohádka (Fairy Tale), Kodály’s folksy Sonatina and Bloch’s heartfelt suite From Jewish Life.
