Bass William Thomas sings Schumann

Chamber Music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: Songs by Schubert and Schumann, music for strings by Purcell, piano delights by Chopin and jazz from Fergus McCreadie.

Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: A watery theme runs through some of this afternoon's selection of music: we'll hear songs by Schubert and Schumann sung by mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska and bass William Thomas. The Leonkoro Qaurtet plays a Purcell Fantasia before we hear pianist Alexander Gadjiev in Chopin's Barcarolle.
