Overview

German countertenor Andreas Scholl’s spiritual connection to folksong has informed his acclaimed interpretations of everything from Bach arias to Jacobean lute songs and operatic roles by Handel. His compelling BBC Lunchtime programme shows the interconnections and common relationships between folk melodies from different cultures and periods.
