Bass-baritone Ashley Riches at Wigmore Hall

Live from the Wigmore Hall: bass-baritone Ashley Riches and pianist Joseph Middleton celebrate the art of story-telling from Vienna to New York via Yarmouth Fair.

Live from Wigmore Hall: bass-baritone Ashley Riches and pianist Joseph Middleton celebrate the art of story-telling.

The former Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Ashley Riches returns to the Wigmore stage with a programme that begins with Schubert's terrifying Erlking and ends in the cabaret world of Bolcom's Black Max. And, in between, he and pianist Joseph Middleton take us to the banks of the Rhine, to medieval France, to an English country fair and so on to the solitary hotel of James Joyces' Ulysses.

Presented by Andrew McGregor.
