on this month: lewes chamber music festival Catherine Manson Hadyn seek Catherine Manson, leader of the London Haydn Quartet and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, has performed in world-class venues. She speaks to us about coming to the Lewes Chamber Festival. Can you tell me how the London Haydn Quartet was formed and why? James Boyd (LHQ’s violist) and I met 30 years ago and discovered a common passion for Haydn. Haydn’s 60-odd quartets are the greatest masterpieces in the quartet repertory and yet only a dozen are regularly played. We wanted to redress the balance and play all of them. We are now halfway through recording the complete set on the Hyperion label. Do you use period instruments, and if so, why? The more we explored this music and its language, the more we were drawn to the world of period instruments. There is a real connection between musical meaning and the way the sound is produced and we find much more of a connection with the music when it is allowed to inhabit its own native sound world. Anyway, gut strings were absolutely standard from the dawn of music until the 1940s. Do you think it’s true, as is often said, that string quartets are a form of musical marriage? There’s a kind of mystique about relationships in quartets but it’s all less interesting than the music itself! When four people come together to think profoundly about works that are some of the greatest contributions to humanity, it’s usually a pretty intense scene. In LHQ the intensity is enhanced by the fact that the cellist and I are brother and sister so have been lucky enough to play and think about this music together for almost all our lives. Do you find teaching makes you a better player? James Boyd and I, together with cellist Robert Max, run MusicWorks, which presents chamber music courses for young musicians and several of our former and present students are playing at the festival this year. On the courses we often play in the groups we coach so we explore the music together with our students rather than necessarily “teaching” them. Great music is an unending source of fascination so one is learning throughout one’s life. How do you feel about performing in Lewes? The Lewes Chamber Music Festival is a very special event. The performers are some of the world’s most celebrated chamber musicians and are all there because the opportunity to play great music with like-minded people is something not to be missed. The intimacy of the venues in Lewes means that the audiences also feel very much like participants and we all revel in the musical feast together. Beatrice Philips chooses some of the most creative programmes I have ever seen, juxtaposing some of the most unusual combinations of music - she’s like a great chef in her vision of how unexpected combinations of ingredients can work spectacularly well together. Paul Austin Kelly Sat 13, 6pm, John sub Castro, £14.
