Soprano Ailish Tynan live at Wigmore Hall in London

Mark Forrest showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including a live concert from Wigmore Hall featuring soprano Ailish Tynan and clarinettist Michael Collins.

Mark Forrest showcases the best performances by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

The week begins with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall given by soprano Ailish Tynan, clarinettist Michael Collins and pianist Malcolm Martineau. Their programme features songs by Schumann, Spohr and Mozart alongside Mendelssohn’s Clarinet Sonata in E flat, and culminates in a performance of Schubert’s song The Shepherd on the Rock.

There’s more chamber music throughout the week from concerts specially recorded for Classical Live at this year’s Chipping Campden Music Festival. Today we hear two pieces from cellist Steven Isserlis’s Czech-themed concert, and pianist and composer Tom Poster works his magic on a funny folksong for tenor Allan Clayton and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective.

And in orchestral music the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra perform Wagner’s radiant Siegfried Idyll and Beethoven’s riveting Symphony No. 7.
