Ludwig Live at Labassa is a unique double recital in the National Trust’s lavish 19th century mansion Labassa. Experience the opulent architectural features and impressive interiors of Labassa as you enjoy two different, contrasting 40 - 45 minute recitals in the one afternoon. This year's Labassa event is based around the music of Beethoven.

Soprano Judith Dodsworth, horn player Roman Ponomariov, and pianist Robert Chamberlain perform Beethoven’s Horn Sonata in F Op. 17, Beethoven’s song-cycle (To the distant beloved) Op. 98, which is rarely heard with female voice, as well as trios by Schubert and Flanders & Swann (arr.) in the Reception Room. While violinist Yi Wang and pianist Darrryl Coote perform Beethoven’s mighty Sonata in A major, Op 47 (Kreuzer) in the Music Room. Each magnificently restored room seats only 40 people, thus each recital will be performed twice; after interval the audience will swap rooms to hear their second recital. Both rooms are at opposite corners of the ground floor, separated by doors and the entrance hall, so each audience will not be disturbed by sound from the other recital.
