Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Hahn

The Aris Quartet performs Beethoven's String Quartet No 8 in E minor, Alessandro Fisher sings Tosti and Hahn, and Katharina Konradi sings Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn.

New Generation Artists: first Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ recordings from three of the six newest musicians on the programme.
The Aris Quartet have built quite a following in their native Germany for their interpretations of Beethoven so this recording made last month should be something very special. Meanwhile British tenor, Alessandro Fisher, brings his linguistic skill and a touch of old world charm to Hahn's catching songs in Venetian dialect and Katharina Konradi, born in Kyrgyzstan but long-resident in Germany, combines a touching beauty and poignancy in the music of Mendelssohn and Rachmaninov.
Presented by Kate Molleson.
