Alwyn premiere?

[eschiss1]

Erm- apologies- can be removed of course. Not sure if Alwyn is considered a late Romantic here or a semi-neo-classicist/British pastoralist/whathave... - except for some of his last works, I think maybe so though... (I really need to stop writing anything about Liszt, if consistency and avoidance of dissonance throughout career is desired, truly.)

His -early- (1932) string quartet "En Voyage" ("String Quartet No.10, first sequence"- in manuscript - not one of his published 3) will be receiving what may be its modern premiere - don't know - 5 October 2012 at Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh, played by the Cavalieri Quartet. (See http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/Departments/Music/Alwyn/1932.html, http://www.bachtrack.com/find-a-concert/what/work=50666-string-quartet-no--10--en-voyage-.)

(The notes to the Naxos recording of Alwyn's 3 mature quartets mention 13 early quartets in all, from 1920 to 1936. The first quartet in D minor was completed later, in 1953.)
I'm not nearby, but- could be interesting.

I am very fond of Ashton's three numbered quartets particularly 1 & 2.  They are very distinctive.  I came to know them through Chandos recordings which I had on tape and used to play in the car. It is a pity that they are not better known.

I'm sure you mean 'Alwyn', Giles. Anyway, I doubt whether this thread is in line with UC's revised remit, so I'm locking it for now...
