BBC Radio 3 - New Generation Artists, Konstantin Krimmel sings Schubert's Schwanengesang

100 minutes of sublime Schubert from baritone Konstantin Krimmel and the Consone Quartet.

Sublime Schubert: An early quartet from the Consone Quartet and Schwanengesang from baritone Konstantin Krimmel and Malcolm Martineau.

Schubert's Swansong: Konstantin Krimmel, rapidly establishing himself as one of the leading singers of his generation, is joined at the BBC studios by Malcolm Martineau in Schubert's posthumously-published Schwanengesang.
Schubert's remarkable late songs are preceded by a quartet he wrote when he was just seventeen, but which contains the kernel of his later writing. The period-instrument Consone Quartet gave this performance at the 2022 Stour Early Music Festival. Also, current member of Radio 3's prestigious young artists' programme, Alim Beisembayev, plays one of Schubert's late Impromptus. Popular today, the Impromptus - and all the music performed here by Radio 3’s current and recent New Generation Artists - remained unpublished and almost unknown outside Schubert’s immediate circle of friends during his lifetime. By way of a prelude to these posthumously-published works, pianist Mariam Batsashvili plays a song from Schwanengesang in a transcription by Franz Liszt, the man who helped bring the songs and piano music of Schubert into the mainstream of European concert life.

Introduced by Al Ryan.
