Pianists Yeol Eum Son and Malcolm Martineau, harpist Emmanuel Ceysson and tenor Ilker Arcayurek Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert: Edinburgh International Festival 2023

Description

Enjoy a taste of chamber music from the Queen's Hall series at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Recorded across the second and third weeks of the festival; South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son plays one of Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes that Robert Schumann thought so technically fiendish they'd only be playable by "10-12 pianists in the world". French harpist Emmanuel Ceysson showcases music by world-renowned teacher and composer for harp, Henriette Renie. To close, tenor Ilker Arcayurek and pianist Malcolm Martineau perform a selection of late Romantic song by Schubert.
