Adrian Butterfield (violin) and Laurence Cummings (harpsichord)
3.30pm, Sunday 2 October, 2011
Little St Mary's Church
Adrian Butterfield and Laurence Cummings are co-directors
of the London Handel Orchestra and Players as
well as being hugely admired and highly sought-after as
soloists and directors. Their recital of Handel's exquisite
violin sonatas will include the three whose manuscripts
are held in the Fitzwilliam Museum, and which will be on
display in Gallery 3 throughout the Festival weekend.
'The sweetness of [Butterfield's] tone, aptness of tempi and the lightness with which he
wears his virtuosity perfectly complement the music.' (Gramophone)
Adrian Butterfield will give a pre-concert talk about the music which he will be performing during the concert,
with particular reference to the manuscripts held by the Fitzwilliam Museum.
