Live from Cadogan Hall

Presented by Catherine Bott

Two of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Hugo Wolf with some of his greatest songs - the German translations of Italian poetry that make up his Italienishes Liederbuch. The Swedish soprano Malin Christensson and the Dutch baritone Henk Neven, partnered by pianist Hans Eijsackers, combine these with the more sombre sound of Brahms in settings of Heinrich Heine, and the expressive melodies of Berg, which push the boundaries of Romantic Lieder.

Brahms: Four settings of Heine:
Es liebt sich so lieblich im Lenze!, Op. 71 No. 1;
Sommerabend, Op. 85 No. 1;
Mondenschein, Op. 85 No. 2;
Meerfahrt, Op. 96 No. 4
