Enoch Arden
/I am delighted to be giving a special live-streamed solo performance, together with the amazing classical pianist Gamal Khamis, of Tennyson's deeply touching narrative epic poem Enoch Arden, as set to music by Richard Strauss for speaker and piano. It's on Sunday 8th November at 4pm and viewable free of charge via www.st-marys-perivale.org.uk (and online afterwards) and lasts about an hour. With words and music of haunting beauty, Enoch Arden is a hidden gem of the romantic repertoire and a masterwork of the now almost lost genre of musical melodrama.
