Schubert songs live from Wigmore Hall

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including soprano Sandra Piau live from Wigmore Hall and Saint-SaĂ«ns’s 3rd Violin Concerto from Montpellier.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week Classical Live has a distinctively French flavour, as we explore the concertos of Saint-SaĂ«ns, and chamber works by the likes of FaurĂ© and Debussy; we’ll also turn our attention to France’s famous musical brothers, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon.

Today’s programme includes Saint-SaĂ«ns's Violin Concerto No. 3 performed by violinist Manon Galy at the Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival; and the Magnard Ensemble perform AlbĂ©ric Magnard’s Quintet in D minor in a recording from the Dartington Music Festival.

At 1pm, live from Wigmore Hall, French soprano Sandrine Piau presents a programme including Schubert, Clara Schumann, Poulenc, Hugo Wolf, and the little-known composer and pianist Jeanne Bernard.
