About the performance
The acclaimed British baritone Simon Keenlyside delights audiences around the world with a voice rich in expression and character. Following last year's appearance at The Queen's Hall, Keenlyside and celebrated pianist Malcolm Martineau return with works by Mahler, Strauss and Schubert alongside more intimate songs by Duparc and Debussy.
Simon Keenlyside: ‘a sound so honeyed and so enticing that whilst listening to it you can't imagine that there is a lovelier lyric baritone on the planet.' The Independent
Malcolm Martineau: ‘outstandingly eloquent, stage-managing the emotional drama of a lover's dawn song, or a huntsman's heartsick soul-storm.' The Times
This concert will be broadcast on 31 August 2011 as BBC Radio 3's Lunchtime Concert.
