  40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival

  (25) Christine Schäfer (sprechstimme), Nash Ensemble/Martyn Brabbins

  First a Debussy masterpiece of timeless grace, composed as the Great War raged about his ears. Another of his late sonatas was originally entitled 'Pierrot fâché avec la lune' (Pierrot angry with the moon) but Schoenberg's eerie Expressionist melodrama got there first.

  This is music through which Christine Schäfer has been exploiting her virtuosity as a singing actress in a variety of settings. 'Every time I do this piece,' she says, 'I try something new.'
