Spoleto Chamber Music 2010, Program 13: Schubert
From: WDAV Classical Public Radio
Series: Spoleto Chamber Music Series 2010
Length: 59:30
It's Charles Wadsworth's Last Waltz, as he steps onstage at Memminger Auditorium to introduce his final concert as the Artistic Director for Spoleto Chamber Music. Wadsworth has been associated with chamber music presentations at either the "original" Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy, or at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston since 1960, and one of the constants has been a season-ending performance of Schubert's summary chamber work: the magnificent String Quintet in C, D. 956. Wadsworth's farewell serenade is performed by the St. Lawrence String Quartet (whose first violinist Geoff Nuttall, will succeed Wadsworth at Spoleto), and guest cellist Alisa Weilerstein.
