BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Scotland Week, Lisa Milne, Iain Burnside

Lisa Milne (soprano), Iain Burnside (piano) in English, Scottish, German and French songs.

Live from Glasgow, Mary Ann Kennedy presents soprano Lisa Milne accompanied by pianist Iain Burnside in a recital of English, Scottish, German and French songs.

One of the RSAMD's most successful alumni, Aberdeen-born soprano Lisa Milne, teams up with pianist Iain Burnside to perform a mixed programme of English, Scottish, German and French songs across three centuries. Songs and sonnets inspired by Shakespeare make up the first half of the programme with Purcell arranged by Tippett and Britten and balanced with a more childs-eye view of life with the famous Fontaine fables such as The Fox and the Crow etc set by the early 20th century french composer Andre Caplet. Songs from closer to home also feature with James MacMillan's atmospheric settings of three songs by the influential Scots poet William Soutar, Ballad, The Children and Scots Song. Presented by Mary Ann Kennedy.
