Summerfest 1 – Governors' Prize Winners' Recital

Location: RSAMD, Glasgow Star rating: *** SUPERFICIALLY, the omens did not look good for the first official Summerfest concert yesterday at the RSAMD. Prizewinners' recitals can be vacuous affairs, full of fast notes and display rhetoric. On top of that, the repertoire chosen by the individual prizewinners yesterday amounted to a stylistic pot pourri, with music ranging from Bach to Dowland, a contemporary brass quintet, Scottish songs and some Debussy.
