Sheku Kanneh-Mason and soloists from the Philharmonia Orchestra play luscious music for string ensemble, including Kanneh-Mason’s own arrangements of Bach.

Immerse yourself in the luscious sound of music for string ensemble played by the British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a Southbank Centre Resident Artist, and his friends from the Philharmonia Orchestra, where he is currently its Featured Artist.

This delicious hour of Bach and Brahms begins with arrangements of three Bach chorale-preludes that Kanneh-Mason himself has made.

These beautifully meditative miniatures transfer the resonances of their original instrument, the organ, to the sustained and songful lines of cello ensemble. They are an ideal choice to match the rich tone and interweaving strands of Brahms’ String Sextet No.1, for two violins, two violas and two cellos.

It’s no wonder that this Sextet is such a perennial favourite in string ensemble concerts, as Brahms truly lets rip in an outpouring of generous, impassioned expression.
