Chamber music from Glasgow's RSNO Centre (4/4)

A feast of chamber music by Beethoven and French song by Reynaldo Hahn.

Kate Molleson presents highlights from the RSNO Chamber series recorded across 2020-21, featuring chamber music by Beethoven and French song by Reynaldo Hahn. We begin with Beethoven’s Variations in F Op 66, where his admiration for Mozart is clear, taking the theme from the opera The Magic Flute as inspiration. Beethoven’s own piano sonata No 30 in E major is a quite different, intimate work, however we hear more variations on a theme in the third movement. Between these two Beethoven works sits a selection of songs by the Venezuelan-born French composer, singer and conductor Reynaldo Hahn, who said ’For me, obsessed as I am with the fusion of literature and music, that is the quality that counts first and foremost.’
