We explore the polar opposites of Innocence and Experience this evening in Schubert's effervescent Trout quintet, and the burning passion of Franck's famous sonata. Between those extremes, Bach and Biber suggest the first human steps in the garden of Eden, watched over by Sofia Gubaidulina's Angel; and our distinguished composer-in-residence Thomas Adès sketches musical portraits of Shakespeare's shipwrecked courtiers, lost in a kind of Eden – the island setting of Adès's opera based on The Tempest.J.
