BBC - BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, 2017, Song Prize Final

Accompanied only by the piano, five young opera singers compete for the Song Prize.

The orchestra has been replaced by a piano as five singers aim to impress the judges in the intimate and demanding discipline of 'art song' or lieder.

Petroc Trelawny and Amercian soprano Angel Blue host the first of two finals taking place in Cardiff this weekend. The Song Prize was first won by legendary Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel when it was introduced back in 1989. For this final the orchestra has been replaced by a piano as five singers aim to impress an expert panel of judges in the intimate and demanding discipline of 'art song' or lieder. On hand to discuss their performances are acclaimed lyric tenor John Mark Ainsley and leading vocal coach Mary King.

Internationally revered singing competition, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2017.
