Songs and Tales
Tom Service introduces a concert live from LSO St Luke's, London.
Songs and their role in storytelling have supplied Weir with many creative ideas. Here she explores everything from timeless Chinese wisdom to Serbian, Scottish and Spanish folk poetry, and in The Voice of Desire the poems by Bridges, Keats and Hardy are conversations between humans and birds - where the birds seem more sophisticated than their human listeners.
As a contrast, Susan Bickley and Andrew Kennedy with Iain Burnside present British folksongs arranged by an earlier generation of song composers.

Andrew Kennedy (tenor)
Iain Burnside (piano)

Woman. Life. Song.
From LSO St Luke's, London, Tom Service presents a concert given by students at the Guildhall School conducted by Andre de Ridder. Weir's Piano Concerto fills the space between chamber music and bravura-filled spectacle.
An intimate work, it has an English folksong, The Sweet Primroses, at the heart of the slow movement.
American soprano Jessye Norman commissioned poems from Maya Angelou, Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Toni Morrison specifically for Weir's song-cycle, which traces a woman's life from infancy to old age - with much humour along the way
