BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Wigmore Monday Lunchtimes: Augustin Hadelich and Charles Owen

From Wigmore Hall, Augustin Hadelich and Charles Owen play Brahms and John Adams.

From Wigmore Hall, London, violinist Augustin Hadelich is joined by pianist Charles Owen for a programme of music by Brahms, Ysaye and John Adams.

From Wigmore Hall, London, Italian-born German violinist Augustin Hadelich is joined by British pianist Charles Owen for a programme including Brahms's muscular Sonata No.1, and John Adams's Road Movies - the title of which the composer describes as ‘total whimsy’, probably suggested by the ‘groove’ in the piano part; the pianist is required to play in an increasing ‘swing mode’ throughout. Between them, one of Ysaye's virtuosic solo sonatas - the fourth, dedicated to the composer's contemporary Fritz Kreisler.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
