29/11/2011 Ailyn Perez, Piotr Beczala, Ensemble 360

With a performance from Ailyn Perez and Piotr Beczala, stars of the Royal Opera House's La Traviata. Plus Ensemble 360 performing Janacek around readings of his letters.

Presented by Sean Rafferty

Soprano Ailyn Perez and tenor Piotr Beczala are the Royal Opera House's current Violetta and Alfredo in a revival of La Traviata. They sing live in the studio and talk about performing in Verdi's tragic masterpiece.

Ensemble 360 are the resident ensemble of Music in the Round, concerts presented in an informal and intimate setting and based at Sheffield's Crucible Studio. They are embarking on a UK tour of Janacek's 'Intimate Letters' String Quartet, interspersing the music with extracts from the composers own letters. They perform a sequence of these live in the studio.

Sean also talks to Stephen Roe from Sothebys auction house about the most important musical manuscript sale for years, which features masterpieces such as Schumann's Szenen Aus Goethes Faust and Britten's The Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra.
