Highlights from the Oxford Lieder Festival 2018, a grand tour of Europe in song.

Andrew McGregor presents highlights from this year's Oxford Lieder Festival 2018, a grand tour of Europe in song, including works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Schubert and Mart Saar.

The Oxford Lieder Festival 2018 goes on a Grand Tour of Europe in song.  In this week's Lunchtime Concerts, Andrew McGregor presents highlights from the festival, including the recital 'Tallinn to St Petersburg' by the Estonian mezzo-soprano Kai Rüütel and the recital 'Vienna to Stockholm' performed by the Swedish soprano Camilla Tilling.  Plus an unusual Schubertiade from Schubert & Co., a group of rising stars in the singing world brought together by the pianist Sholto Kynoch.  Today, Kai Rüütel takes us from the, Rimsky-Korsakov, to the Estonian composer Mart Saar, who travelled to St Petersburg for composition tuition from the old Russian master.  Schubert & Co. continue their Schubertiade, 'Schubert Abroad', with a selection from Schubert's 7 Songs from Walter Scott's 'Fräulein vom See’.
