(1797-1828) lain Burnside looks at the public and private faces of Schubert: his attempts to capture the Viennese opera audience, piano duets intended for intimate performance in a circle of friends, and chamber works he based on the melodies of his own songs. This first programme features two ways of catching a trout, Charlemagne's battle against the Moors in Spain, a sublime nocturne, and a four-handed passage through the storms of life.
