Artist in Focus - Graham Johnson
The pianist talks about Pierre Bernac , and his influence on his love of French music, and about the Songmakers' Almanac-the ground-breaking ensemble he established a quarter of a century ago. He also introduces another selection of his recordings with eminent singers, including Pierre Bernac (baritone) performing part of Babar the Elephant by Poulenc and songs by Brahms, Schubert, Duparc and Bizet sung by the founder members of the Songmakers' Almanac: Felicity Lott (soprano), Ann Murray
(mezzo), Anthony Rolfe Johnson (tenor) and Richard Jackson (baritone).
