I first heard John Woolrich’s haunting Ulysses Awakes quite by chance, on Radio 3, played exquisitely by Jane Atkins. I think I switched on halfway through the piece, but the sound was immediately arresting and I spent years dreaming of being able to perform it myself. My time came with this 2019 performance, in Folkestone, which had by then become Woolrich’s new hometown. Playing with me are my three wonderful Sacconi Quartet colleagues and seven brilliant young string players from the Royal College of Music. I am thrilled to be able to share this performance with you, and am indebted to Pete Fozard for the sound, vision and technical wizardry.
