| 11am Village Hall, Titley Herefordshire United Kingdom Details: Web site | Stephen Johnson on Haydn Joseph Haydn has been justly described as 'the most neglected of all the truly great composers'. While a handful of works have always been cherished, the scale and breadth of his originality still seems to be appreciated by relatively few. Stephen Johnson looks closely at some of Haydn's finest and most characteristic works, and argues that without his pioneering example the achievements of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahmsand even Wagner might have been profoundly different. 2009 Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts event 20 |
