With Mark Padmore (tenor) in Purcell's A Morning Hymn and An Evening Hymn. Plus Jorg Widmann (clarinet) in his own work Three Shadow Dances and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.

Tom Redmond continues a week of Lunchtime Concerts recorded at the 2017 Aldeburgh Festival in Suffolk. Tenor Mark Padmore opens today's programme with two Britten arrangements of Purcell hymns before we hear the UK premiere of German composer Jorg Widmann's Three Shadow Dances - a work which made him 'view the clarinet from a completely different perspective'. Jorg then joins the Belcea Quartet, who're in residence at the festival this year, for Mozart's perspective on the instrument in his exhilarating late Quintet.
