成人快手

Hannah French introduces the final programme in her summer series of eight Saturday programmes showcasing the talents of the current Radio 3 New Generation Artists.

Today Geneva Lewis plays Cesar Franck's famous violin sonata, a work she says that "takes you on a spellbinding journey from the most intimate to the most passionate, a journey full of awe and gratitude." Also today Tom Borrow plays one of Grieg's intimate Lyric Pieces and, bookending the programme, Konstantin Krimmel brings his honeyed baritone voice to three of Brahms's most ravishing songs.

Established nearly a quarter of a century 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.
