Sarah Connolly and Malcolm Martineau

One of Britain's finest singers Sarah Connolly and pianist Malcolm Martineau perform Schoenberg, Debussy, Strauss and Korngold from the Queen's Hall at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival

Every weekday for three weeks, Radio 3 broadcasts one of the stand-out concerts from the Queen鈥檚 Hall over the past decade. Today Donald Macleod introduces one of Britain鈥檚 finest singers Sarah Connolly, and acclaimed pianist Malcolm Martineau in recital. They perform a richly romantic programme of songs and lieder contrasting the fin-de-si猫cle Vienna of Schoenberg, Zemlinsky and Strauss with the cool eroticism of Debussy and eccentricity of Poulenc, as well as works by Austrian 茅migr茅 composers Eisler and Korngold. Recorded at The Queen's Hall as part of the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival.
