About the Performance
Mezzo soprano Bernarda Fink and pianist Anthony Spiri perform Dvorák's Biblical Songs and Gypsy Songs alongside a selection of songs by Schubert.
'Sometimes it takes a great performer to make you hear music you thought you knew with fresh ears... selection of Schubert songs included some of his greatest hits, but she revealed anew the richness of his settings' The Guardian
'Fink's tender tone and perfect diction reflect every nuance of emotion' The Independent
This event will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Lunchtime Concerts programme at 1:00pm, 9 September 2009. The programme will then be available for streaming and download for one week at bbc.co.uk/iplayer.
