Winter Showcase - Programme 7
The dazzling technique of accordion player Ryan Corbett in Bach's English Suite No 2 in A minor, BWV807, and mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston in Mahler.
The seventh in Kate Molleson's 10-part series of programmes celebrating the talents of the current members of Radio 3's young artist scheme. Today we'll hear the dazzling technique and musicianship of the young accordionist Ryan Corbett in one of JS Bach's keyboard suites. The period instrument quartet the Consone Quartet have fast made a name with expressive interpretations of Classical and Romantic repertoire, and today they'll perform Schubert, recorded at this year's Stour Festival. Mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston is equally at home in Baroque or Romantic repertoire, and the programme includes a recent performance of her singing Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen with the 成人快手 Philharmonic.

Established just over two decades ago, Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme is acknowledged internationally as the foremost programme of its kind. It exists to offer a platform for artists at the beginning of their international careers; each year six musicians join the scheme for two years, during which time they appear at the UK's major music festivals and venues, enjoy dates with the 成人快手 orchestras and have the opportunity to record in the 成人快手 studios. The artists are also encouraged to form artistic partnerships with one another and to explore a wide range of repertoire, not least the work of contemporary, women and diverse composers. In recent years Radio 3's New Generation Artists have appeared at many of the UK's music festivals and concert halls. The 成人快手 New Generation Artists Scheme is not itself a prize, rather it offers a unique two-year platform on which artists can develop their prodigious talents. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who鈥檚 Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades including pianists Paul Lewis, Pavel Kolesnikov, Benjamin Grosvenor and Beatrice Rana, violinists Alina Ibragimova and Lisa Batiashvili, the Belcea, Jerusalem and 脡b猫ne Quartets, singers Alice Coote and Fatma Said and the trumpeter Alison Balsom.
