The Lark Ascending: Music for Violin and Piano

The Lark Ascending, voted the nation’s favourite piece of classical music, is at the heart of this elegant programme from Benjamin Grosvenor and Hyeyoon Park.

The duo also presents eloquent Mozart, the grand romance of Franck, colourfully impressionist Debussy and Takemitsu’s wonderfully elusive Distance de fée.
