Mark Bailey, cello and Nicholas Ashton, piano.
Mark Bailey and Nicholas Ashton worked together many times as a result of the Edinburgh Quartet’s residence at Edinburgh Napier University. Together, they have performed many of the most established works in the medium of piano quintet/quartet, including those by Schumann, Elgar, Dvorak, Faure (no 1), Dohnanyi (no 2), Schnittke, Shostakovich and Mozart, as well as new works by contemporary composers. A premiere recording, for Delphian Records, of the Robert Crawford Piano Quintet, was very highly praised. Since then Mark and Nicholas have often discussed forming a duo and this concert is to be first in what they both hope will be an exciting project!
