Summer Showcase (7/8)
New Generation Artists Summer Showcase: the Consone Quartet play Haydn at the Octagon Chapel in Norwich, and mezzo Helen Charlston sings Finzi's touching cycle O Fair to See.
New Generation Artists Summer Showcase: Kate Molleson presents more recent performances from the current members of Radio 3's new artists' programme. Today the period instruments of the Consone Quartet play Haydn in the 18th-century Octagon Chapel in Norwich. Also today, the mezzo, Helen Charlston sings Finzi's touching cycle 'O Fair to See,' settings of six poets including Robert Bridges. Finzi's setting of his 'Since we loved,' proved to be his last composition, a song which one biographer describes as a "beautiful and perfect final love letter to [his wife] Joy, to his art, and to life itself."
