ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

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

All this week Classical Live is spending time at this year’s Chipping Campden Music Festival in Gloucestershire, featuring music recorded specially for us there at a trio of concerts. Today, pianist Richard Goode rounds off his recital focussing on the Beethoven’s final Piano Sonatas; Steven Isserlis performs the Cello Sonata by the influential 19th-century Czech composer and teacher Ignaz Moscheles; and tenor Allan Clayton joins the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective to sing Vaughan Williams’s vivid song cycle On Wenlock Edge – settings of poetry by A. E. Housman.

We return to Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik to hear more from an all-Wagner concert given by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra with baritone Ólafur Sigurðarson, and Riccardo Minasi conducts the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra in Mozart’s Linz Symphony.
