Programme

Overview

Explore the deep, sonorous world of the double bass as Will Duerden joins pianist Svitlana Kosenko for an evening of sublime lyricism and electrifying virtuosity. From Schumann’s heart-stirring Adagio to Bottesini’s dazzling Fantasia on Donizetti themes, this recital redefines the bass’s voice. Experience the rich dialogue between two masterful artists.Returning to the stage where he made his solo debut, double bassist Will Duerden reunites with pianist Svitlana Kosenko in a recital that unveils the double bass’s full expressive spectrum. The programme opens with Schumann’s Adagio, its soaring lines drawn from the instrument’s warm, human voice, each phrase imbued with Romantic longing. Then Bottesini’s Fantasia on themes from Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor bursts forth in a display of technical brilliance and dazzling agility, challenging every notion of the bass’s role. In this intimate setting, Duerden’s rich tone and Kosenko’s nuanced accompaniment engage in a vibrant dialogue, guiding listeners through depths of lyricism and peaks of virtuosity. Experience a concert that celebrates the double bass not merely as a foundation, but as a solo voice capable of both tender reflection and thrilling spectacle.
