Soprano Christine Schafer talks to
Sean Rafferty about the challenge of Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, which she performs at the Proms on Wednesday evening. Music includes Tatiana Nikolaieva playing
Shostakovich; the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, singing
Stanford; and, before the arts news at 7.00, Jean-Philippe Collard playing Salnt-Saens's Piano Concerto No 5 - the Egyptian - with the Royal
Philharmonic, conductor Andre Previn.
