What’s the Cavaleri going to do, then?
Actually it seems they’ve disbanded.
Which is a great shame, for me, at least, as I was looking forward to hearing them play again.
They were quartet in residence at the Presteigne Festival a couple of years ago, when, among other things, they gave us, in tiny Bleddfa church, one of the best performances of Death and the Maiden I’ve heard in 55 years.
In the Wine Bar, after recitals, they proved to be modest and charming young musicians, and I hope they all find rewarding work after the disbandment.
