Presented by Martin Handley.

In the last of his three concerts featuring the song cycles of Schubert, tenor Mark Padmore is joined in London's Wigmore Hall by pianist Roger Vignoles to perform Schwanengesang.

Although the title - Swansong - and the order of the songs is the work of a publisher eager to cash in after Schubert's death, the various settings treat a subject dear to German Romanticism: Sehnsucht, translated as longing or yearning.

Mark Padmore (tenor)
