BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Haydn Plus: Ashley Riches and Joseph Middleton

A concert recorded at LSO St Luke's in London of songs by Haydn and his contemporaries.

Ashley Riches and Joseph Middleton perform a recital of songs by Haydn and his contemporaries, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London in 2021. Hannah French presents.

Hannah French presents the first of four concerts recorded in September 2021 at LSO St Luke's in London, featuring the music of Haydn in song, chamber music and solo piano works. Each of the concerts explores Haydn's innovations and his influences.

Haydn's vocal music is perhaps better known in arias from his operas and oratorios, but in today's concert, bass-baritone Ashley Riches and pianist Joseph Middleton perform a recital opening with some of Haydn's canzonettas, written while he was in London.  The programme continues with a selection of songs by Hummel, and ends with a set by Schubert that he dedicated to Caroline Esterhazy, of the same family Haydn had served.

Presented by Hannah French, and first broadcast in 2021.
