This Friday marks the return to the Wigmore Hall of a work that hasn't been performed there for eighty seven years. Adela Maddison’s piano quintet enjoyed great success when it was first performed in the Hall in 1921. By that time Adela - who was then fifty seven - had produced a substantial body of work, acclaimed by her peers and the public alike. And yet no recordings of her compositions exist today. Judi Herman looks at Adela Maddison’s life and work with the musicologist Sophie Fuller and visits rehearsals of the quintet and two of her songs.
Adela Maddison’s piano quintet and her two songs, ‘Hiver’ and ‘Silence’ will be played by the Fibonacci Sequence Chamber Ensemble with mezzo-soprano Yvonne Howard at London’s Wigmore Hall on Friday 13th April 2007.
