Episode 4
Chamber music by Michel Lambert, Britten and Beethoven performed by mezzo-soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter, cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and the Minetti Quartet. With Hannah French.
This week's Lunchtime Concerts - presented by Hannah French - come from The Frick Collection art museum in New York, where an annual series of chamber music recitals has been held for the past 78 years in its splendid music room.
In today's programme, cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and pianist Alexander Lonquich perform Britten's Cello Sonata in C, the Minetti Quartet plays Beethoven's first string quartet, Op.18 No.1 in F, and there are songs by Michel Lambert from mezzo-soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter with lutenist Thomas Dunford and keyboard player Jonathan Cohen.
Throughout the week, Hannah is at the Frick Collection, and talks to Chief Curator Xavier Salomon about some of the paintings currently on display in the gallery, including Jean-Simeon Chardin's Lady with a Bird Organ.
