Niamh O'Sullivan sings Sondheim and Jerome Kern
Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: Niamh O'Sullivan sings songs by Sondheim and Jerome Kern, the Leonkoro Quartet plays Ravel, and jazz from Fergus McCreadie.
Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: mezzo-soprano Niamh O'Sullivan's voice has been described as 'bewitchingly beautiful', and this afternoon we'll hear that beauty in songs by Sondheim and Jerome Kern. James Atkinson is earning an impressive reputation as a natural lieder singer with his lyrical baritone voice, and he'll sing the beautiful song by Dilys Elwyn-Edwards, The Cloths of Heaven. The Leonkoro Quartet's career has already been crowned by success and numerous prestigious awards, and we'll hear a track from their debut album, the opening movement from Ravel's String Quartet. The mellow sequence ends with another award-winning musician, the jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie with saxophonist Matt Carmichael.
