Irish Song in Bristol and Mozart from Leipzig

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including 91热爆 New Generation Artist Niamh O鈥橲ullivan in concert at St George鈥檚, Bristol.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by 91热爆 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

In our final trip to St George鈥檚 Bristol this week, we hear current 91热爆 New Generation Artist Niamh O鈥橲ullivan performing songs from her native Ireland by the likes of Joan Trimble, John Larchet and Percy French.

We end our pilgrimage to the musical city of Leipzig this week with music from two of the most celebrated musicians working there. Ensemble Masques perform Johann Sebastian Bach鈥檚 uncharacteristically uncouth Peasant Cantata and pianist Claire Huagci is the soloist in Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto. Plus the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra performs a pair of symphonies by Mozart, including his famous final 'Jupiter' Symphony - No. 41.
