Malcolm Martineau and Nicky Spence

Pianist Malcolm Martineau performs a programme of English and German songs with a distinctly Scottish flavour with tenor Nicky Spence at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Pianist Malcolm Martineau performs a programme of English and German songs with tenor Nicky Spence at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The programme is suffused with Scottish undertones however as Schumann draws on some of Robert Burns' songs and poetry including the famous 'My heart's in the Highlands' whereas Britten takes his inspiration from the lyrics, rhymes and riddles of William Soutar, a poet and diarist who lived at the beginning of the 20th century.

Presented by Kate Molleson.
