Programme Note
Beginning a 24-hour Parry focus at the festival, David Owen Norris performs two piano portraits to a video backdrop. Parry’s Shulbrede Tunes is accompanied by a tour of the home of the title (his daughter’s) and the family photo album. Alongside, Poulenc’s ‘twenty minutes of brilliantissimo’ are animated by Guardian cartoonist Martin Rowson, bringing caricatures to life as the music plays. In Norris’ words, ‘the Essence of England and the Flamboyance of France’!
