Romantic song live from London's Wigmore Hall
Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including a live recital from soprano Johanna Wallroth and pianist Michael Pandya.
Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.
We begin the programme with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall. Swedish soprano Johanna Wallroth joins pianist Michael Pandya (both ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3 New Generation Artists) to explore the song writing brilliance of Clara Schumann, Pauline Viardot and Gunnar de Frumerie, alongside favourite songs by Schubert and Berlioz.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth begins a week-long celebration of music of Spain. The RTVE Symphony Orchestra feature Manuel de Falla at the ballet and also Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's powerful First Piano Concerto. Plus, music by Spanish Renaissance composer and organist, Antonio de Cabezón.
Elizabeth also has a spotlight on solo violin performers and violin sonatas throughout the week. Today, Elena Urioste stands alongside pianist Tom Poster to perform one of Mozart's final great masterpieces for the genre.
