The Alehouse Boys, Sarah Bernstein and AS Byatt
The Alehouse Boys on their performance of Schubert songs in pubs, Booker Prize shortlisted author Sarah Bernstein, and Boyd Tonkin on AS Byatt
Thomas Guthrie and βThe Alehouse Boysβ bring the music of Schubert to pubs with their new album Schubert's Die schΓΆne MΓΌllerin. Their arrangements of Schubertβs song cycle intend to break free from the formality of established lieder recitals, returning to its original improvisational form.
In the last of our Booker shortlist series this week, Samira interviews Canadian 2023 Giller Prize-winning novelist Sarah Bernstein. Her second novel, Study for Obedience, explores the inner thoughts of its unnamed protagonist who moves to a new area to stay with her brother and quickly becomes a feared stranger.
And the critic Boyd Tonkin discusses the remarkable literary output of the author, critic and poet AS Byatt who has died aged 87.
