Artist In Focus - Graham Johnson
Graham Johnson talks of the role of the pianist in an ensemble with singers, and the piano's emergence from the subservience of "accompanying".
Examples from his recordings include a sequence of songs from Italian Song-Books with Arleen Auger (soprano); Schubert songs with Anthony Rolfe
Johnson (tenor); Gipsy songs by Brahms with Ann Murray (mezzo); Finzi songs to Hardy texts with John Shirley-Quirk
(baritone); and Schumann's Liederkreis, Op 39with Margaret Price (soprano).
