Scottish pianist Malcolm Martineau OBE is one of the leading accompanists of his generation. In this series he’s joined by award-winning vocalists to perform French, German, British and 20th-century American song, at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

The Grammy award-winning German soprano Dorothea Roschmann performs with pianist Malcolm Martineau today in Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis Op.39, that he described in a letter to his wife as, ‘my most romantic music ever, with much of you in it, dearest Clara’. Violist Scott Dickenson joins for music by Johannes Brahms written for his friends, the violinist Joseph Joachim and his mezzo-soprano wife, Amalie Schneeweiss. Stephen Broad presents.
