“Pride of place went to the premiere of a [Red Violin] Festival commission, Fol de Riddles, a fanfare for four violins by Wales-based composer John Hardy… [in] this brief, striking work… the opening section set the first violinist against the others in dramatic, declamatory fashion; the second section, fast and exciting, involved all four in a riveting ensemble.”
Robin Stowell, The Strad.
Fol-de-Riddles is a concert piece for four violins, commissioned by the first Red Violin Festival directed by Madeleine Mitchell. Find out more on our Fol-de-Riddles project page.
