Georgia Mann presents the cellist Andrei Ionita and the pianist Mariam Batsashvili in a New Generation Artist Showcase at Turner Sims Southampton.

Georgia Mann presents the cellist Andrei Ionita and the pianist Mariam Batsashvili in a New Generation Artist Showcase at Turner Sims Southampton.
In this concert, recorded last week as part of the hall's prestigious international concert series, two of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists play solo music by Bach, Schubert, Liszt and Ligeti. From the dark, intimate world of Bach's Cello Suite to the drama of Liszt's Dante-inspired Fantasia, these two remarkable artists promise solo performances of originality, virtuosity and soulfulness in equal measure.

Vaja Azararashvili: Nostalgia
Prokfiev arr Piatigorsky: March for solo cello from Music for Children op. 65
Bach: Cello Suite No 5 in c minor, BWV 1011

c.8.10pm Interval Music: The Calidore String Quartet play Haydn's Quartet in D major Op.64'5 (Lark) in a recording made in the 成人快手 studios. .

Ligeti: Cello Sonata
Liszt: Apr猫s une lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata

Andrei Ionita (cello)
Mariam Batsashvili (piano)

During the concert, Georgia will talk to Mariam (who hails from Georgia) and Andrei (who was born in Rumania) about the music they are playing, finding their own musical voice and about the pros and cons of winning major international competitions.
Since its launch in 1999 the 成人快手's renowned New Generation Artists scheme has brought to the public's attention many young musicians on the threshold of glittering international careers. Both of tonight's soloists are recent first prize winners - cellist Andrei Ionita at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 2015, and Mariam Batsashvili at the 10th Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht in 2014. Both are artists of questing originality.
This concert is one of a series of showcase concerts taking place around the UK this month.
