Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert

Wigmore Hall: Florian Boesch, Malcolm Martineau

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 3Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 3

The outstanding Austrian baritone, Florian Boesch, is joined by pianist Malcolm Martineau in a recital of lieder by Schubert and Wolf, live from Wigmore Hall in London.

Together they explore the settings by both Schubert and Wolf of Goethe's great poetic version of the Prometheus myth. For Florian Boesch, the romantic poets were committed to living extreme emotions and when he performs their words in the settings by Schubert and Wolf, he feels as if he's 'looking into his own soul'.

Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.
