Schubert songs live from Wigmore Hall

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including soprano Sandra Piau live from Wigmore Hall and Saint-Saëns’s 3rd Violin Concerto from Montpellier.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by 鶹 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week Classical Live has a distinctively French flavour, as we explore the concertos of Saint-Saëns, and chamber works by the likes of Fauré and Debussy; we’ll also turn our attention to France’s famous musical brothers, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon.

Today’s programme includes Saint-Saëns's Violin Concerto No. 3 performed by violinist Manon Galy at the Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival; and the Magnard Ensemble perform Albéric Magnard’s Quintet in D minor in a recording from the Dartington Music Festival.

At 1pm, live from Wigmore Hall, French soprano Sandrine Piau presents a programme including Schubert, Clara Schumann, Poulenc, Hugo Wolf, and the little-known composer and pianist Jeanne Bernard.
