Ravel
Debussy
Chopin
Sonatine
Jeux d'Eau
Pour le Piano
Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op.52
Etudes Nos. 13-24, Op.25
Our YEAR OF THE FRENCH commences with authority,
for on leaving Cortot's class at the Paris Conservatoire
VLADO PERLEMUTER had the privilege of studying
with Ravel all that master's piano compositions. He was
one of the first to play the complete cycle, in two recitals
in 1929 in Ravel's presence, and his complete recording
is available on Nimbus. The music of Chopin is perhaps a
more recent speciality; Perlemuter broadcast nearly all
Chopin's piano works for the BBC during the 1960's, and
a large part of this repertoire is available on record also.
Thursday 21st November 1985 at 7.30pm
THE FAIRFIELD QUARTET
Ruth Ehrlich and Jennifer Godson
(Violins) Catherine Marwood (Viola)
Julia Desbruslais ('Cello)
Haydn
Quartet in D, Op.20 No. 4
"The Row in Venice"
Debussy
Quartet in G minor
Schubert Quartet in D minor
"Death and the Maiden"
THE FAIRFIELD QUARTET comes, like the Bochmann,
Coull, Fitzwilliam and Medici, from the stable of Sidney
Griller at the Royal Academy of Music. Formed in 1979,
they drew international attention to themselves by
winning first prize in the Karl Klingler competition in
Hanover in 1983. The Daily Telegraph critic described
them as "an outstanding addition to the long line of gifted
young British quartets".
Thursday 13th February 1986 at 7.30pm
Patrons' Concert
MUSICIANS OF THE ROYAL
EXCHANGE
David Campbell (Clarinet)
Elisabeth Perry (Violin)
Moray Welsh ('Cello)
Anthony Goldstone (Piano)

Bohemian Folk Song, Op.46
"La Plainte, au Loin, du Faune..."
for piano
Dukas
Debussy Sonata for 'cello and piano in D minor
Messiaen Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps
MUSICIANS OF THE ROYAL EXCHANGE take their
name from the Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester, at
whose invitation ANTHONY GOLDSTONE founded the
group in 1978. Besides their concerts in Manchester they
play often in London and elsewhere, and frequently
broadcast. The group is a very flexible one with up to
eighteen players and has gained a fine reputation not
only for very high standards of playing but also for
Anthony Goldstone's imaginative planning, of which this
programme is a good example. The Committee has
chosen this concert to be our annual PATRONS'
CONCERT in acknowledgment of the contribution our
patrons make to the Society throughout the year.
Tuesday 18th March 1986 at 7.30pm
ANN MACKAY (Soprano)
with
JOHN CONSTABLE (Piano)
Berlioz
Les Nuits d'Eté

Thursday 5th December 1985 at 7.30pm
LORRAINE McASLAN (Violin)

Beethoven Sonata No. 1 in D, Op.12 No. 1
Fauré Sonata in A, Op.13
Paganini Caprice, Op.1 No. 24
Walton
Sonata
LORRAINE McASLAN's recital for us is part of her prize
as winner of the 1984 National Federation of Music
Societies Young Artists competition. Born in Glasgow,
she studied in this country and then, on Isaac Stern's
recommendation, at the Juilliard School in New York;
success there led to her United States debut in Carnegie
Recital Hall. JOHN BLAKELY studied at the Royal
Academy of Music and at Balliol College Oxford. He has
established a considerable reputation for himself as an
accompanist. Together they have recently recorded for
ASV, with the Elgar sonata, the Walton sonata in this
programme.
Thursday 16th January 1986 at 7.30pm
VILLIERS PIANO QUARTET
Maureen Smith (Violin)
Susie Meszaros (Viola)
Alexander Baillie ('Cello)
Ian Brown (Piano)
Mozart
Piano Quartet in G minor, K.478
Chausson Piano Quartet in A, Op.30
Brahms
Piano Quartet in C minor, Op.60
A standing ovation greeted the VILLIERS PIANO
QUARTET at its London debut at the Wigmore Hall last
November. Of its members two are old friends - IAN
BROWN played for us last season and MAUREEN SMITH
the season before- and two are new - ALEXANDER
BAILLIE is one of this country's outstanding young
'cellists and SUSIE MESZAROS first attracted notice as
string finalist in the 1978 BBC Young Musician of the Year
competition. Their programme includes the Piano
Quartet by Ernest Chausson which they are preparing
especially for us.
JOHN CONSTABLE (Piano)
Les Nuits d'Eté
Berlioz
Wolf
Four Mignon Songs (Goethe)
and songs by Gounod, Fauré, Hahn
Anyone who attended the recital given for us by ANN
MACKAY and JOHN CONSTABLE during the 1984 York
Festival will understand why we have seized this
opportunity to engage them again. Like Lorraine
McAslan, Ann Mackay is a former NFMS competition
winner who made her New York debut at Carnegie
Recital Hall. Her particular success with the songs of
Strauss and Wolf no doubt owes something to her period
of study with Elizabeth Schwarzkopf. John Constable is
one of this country's leading accompanists, with an
international reputation. His range of activity is
extraordinarily wide, from harpsichord continuo in
"Messiah" to the solo piano part in Boulez's "Pli Selon Pli".

YORK
A
fter some years in which a focus has
been given to the Society's
programmes through a "composer
of the year" we have for our sixty-
fifth season decided on the broader theme
of French music. As you will see, each
programme includes at least one French
work; there are both familiar pieces
(Debussy, Ravel) and less familiar
(Chausson, Dukas). As usual we offer a
platform to younger artists (Lorraine
McAslan, the Fairfield Quartet) yet we have
the honour of starting the year with the
doyen of French pianists, Vlado Perlemuter.
Likewise we look forward to welcoming
both old and new members; the more new
members we attract the higher the standard
of recital we can offer. This year we have
decided to honour our patrons, who
volunteer an additional and most valuable
financial contribution, with their own
"patrons' concert". We look forward to your
company, at Bootham School and express
our gratitude to the Headmaster for the
continued use of the Hall.
