Madge-point

A rerun of this programme will be broadcast on Thursday morning 24 December 2020 from 11 to 12 o’clock. Because of the coronavirus crisis, this episode has, again, been recorded without Louis Thörig, and not in Marco Wensveen’s studio, but in that of Geoffrey himself.

In episode 177 we pay special attention to the Austrian-American pianist Artur Schnabel.

1. Ludwig van Beethoven, Sonata for Cello and Piano in F major, opus 5 No.1.
   Pierre Fournier, cello and Artur Schnabel, piano.
2. Franz Schubert, Der Kreuzzug D 932 and Die Stadt D 957.
   Therese Behr-Schnabel, singing and Artur Schnabel, piano.
3. Ludwig van Beethoven, Sonata for Cello and Piano in A major, opus 69 No.3.

Next time will be the last programme of 2020. For this broadcast, Geoffrey chose one of his favourite compositions, no piano player this time.

Meanwhile, a fortaste of Schubert’s String Quintet in C major.
