Miscellanea, May 2021
This Week in Classical Music: May 17, 2021. Miscellanea.

This quartet recording dates from 1980, but it was in the 1990's that I got to know Dr Rowland as head of chamber music at the Royal Northern College of Music. Each winter he used to put on a set of concerts by his students, taking as its theme either a specific composer, e.g. Mendelssohn, or a certain type of music, e.g. the string quartet. The standard was unfailingly high, and […]
