5 September 2010: Jamie Walton & Daniel Grimwood
Background
Cellist Jamie Walton appears at Cratfield for the first time in our 2010 season, with his long-term duo partner, pianist Daniel Grimwood.
Jamie studied at the RNCM, then with William Pleeth and Margaret Moncrieff. He is now well known internationally as a rising star of the cello, with solo, chamber and concerto performances across the world; he plays a 1712 Guarneri and also directs the annual North York Moors Chamber Music Festival, now in its second year.
Daniel has a well established career as a soloist and chamber musician, with a special interest in authentic performance, on harpsichord and organ as well as piano.
Playing at Cratfield
The concert is at 3pm on Sunday 5 September 2010.
Concert programme
Britten, Sonata for cello and piano in C op 65 (1961)
Shostakovich, Sonata for cello and piano in D minor op 40 (1934)
Rachmaninov, Sonata for cello and piano in G minor op 19 (1901)
CDs
Jamie and Daniel have recently released a new CD for Signum of the Grieg and Rachmaninov cello sonatas. Highly praised in the December 2009 International Record Review, the disc was given 5 stars for both performance and recording by BBC Music Magazine (January 2010).
Jamie has recorded the Elgar and Miaskovsky concertos; The Times called his performance of the Elgar ‘rivetingly direct in impact, casting aside generations of reverential interpretive luggage’. More recently he has recorded the Britten Cello Symphony and Shostakovich 2nd concerto (all his concerto CDs are for Signum, with the Philharmonia under Alexander Briger) and plans soon to record all Britten’s suites for cello, as well as the sonata he will play at Cratfield. Jamie’s recording of the Walton concerto and Shostakovich 1st concerto is due for release later in 2010.
Daniel has recorded a series of Chopin recitals on an Erard piano, and more recently also Liszt’s Années de Pélerinage (all for SFZ).
