Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert - Edinburgh International Festival 2010 - Simon Keenlyside, Malcolm Martineau

Journeys of the heart for baritone Simon Keenlyside and pianist Malcolm Martineau as the duo bring Schumann's tragic song cycle 'Dichterliebe' to The Queen's Hall. The romantic masterwork is the culmination of a concert also featuring E A Housmann's meditations on age, nature and beauty as depicted by George Butterworth; and a selection from America's celebrated modern master of song, Ned Rorem. Rorem: Youth, Day, Old Age, and Night O You Whom I Often and Silently Come Root Cellar My Papa's Waltz Butterworth: Loveliest of Trees When I was One and Twenty Look not in my Eyes Think no more, Lad The Lads in their hundreds Is my Team ploughing?
