Mahler, Schubert

Fiona Talkington introduces listeners' requests, including chamber music from Mahler, choral music from John Rutter and a tribute to two vintage singers.

Fiona Talkington introduces more listeners' recommendations, including the work of a forgotten Irish composer famed for whale hunting, narrow escapes from cannibals and tigers, and a wild life spent journeying between Australia and South America. There's also chamber music from Mahler, choral music from John Rutter, and a tribute to two vintage singers representing opposite musical poles of the early twentieth century.
