LSO St Luke's - Beethoven and Tippett: Allan Clayton and James Baillieu
Recorded at LSO St Luke's in London, tenor Allan Clayton and pianist James Baillieu perform two song cycles: Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte and Tippett's The Heart's Assurance.
Georgia Mann introduces the third of this week's concerts recorded at LSO St Luke's in London, bringing together the music of Beethoven and his great 20th-century admirer Michael Tippett.
Today tenor Allan Clayton and pianist James Baillieu perform two song-cycles: Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte (thought to be the first of its kind), and Tippett's intensely moving The Hearts' Assurance, a setting of two poets who had been killed in the Second World War, composed in 1951 in memory of a friend who had committed suicide. Their programme also includes Tippett's arrangements of two Purcell songs, and thee songs that he wrote for a 1962 Old Vic production of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
