The Arod Quartet live from Wigmore Hall

The Arod Quartet plays Haydn & Tchaikovsky in a live recital from Wigmore Hall, plus Brahms and Liszt from the Ulster Orchestra, and pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja plays Shostakovich.

Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of live music and specially recorded performances from around the world. In today’s programme, music from Ulster Hall in Belfast as the Ulster Orchestra plays an overture by Liszt, alongside Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel with baritone James Atkinson and Brahms’ Symphony No. 4. Also today, Linton begins a week featuring highlights of a concert given in the German town of Hitzacker by pianists Elisabeth Leonskaja and Mihály Berecz; today, they perform Shostakovich’s Concertino for 2 pianos. And we begin, as ever on a Monday, live at Wigmore Hall in London. Former Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Arod Quartet play quartets by Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
