Elly Ameling is one of the century's most remarkable singers. She made her career in the concert halls of the world, concentrating on the huge and rewarding repertoire of songs. Her understanding of this exciting area is phenomenal and her artistry - both intense and intensely natural - is totally devoid of artifice. In this programme, she talks to Gordon Stewart about her singing and her songs. The programme includes Schumann's Liederkreis, Op 39, Debussy's La Damoiselle Elue, and Schubert's Shepherd on the Rock, with clarinettist Thea King and pianist Dalton Baldwin.
