With Sean Rafferty tonight, tenor Cyrille Dubois sings love declarations, while violinist Madeleine Mitchell and pianist Nigel Clayton share some musical devotion.
Music is probably Love's favourite terrain of expression... Passion, drama, romance, with Cyrille Dubois, your Friday sounds so romantic! On his new album - 'So Romantique !' with the Lille National Orchestra conducted by Pierre Dumoussaud (on Alpha) - revives some (sentimental and even melodramatic) pieces of the French opera from the 1830s to the 1900s. The tenor talks to Sean Raffety tonight.
In the studio, performing live tonight, are violinist Madeleine Mitchell and pianist Nigel Clayton, who present an upcoming concert fit for the Easter season. Alongside Rachmaninov's 'Vocalise', they perform a piece James McMillan composed for Mitchell, 'Kiss on Wood', an instrumental meditation that refers to the Cross and the Passion, as well as echoes the material of the violin itself too.
