Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making. In today's programme we continue this week's exploration of Viennese composers complementing tomorrow's much anticipated New Year's Day Concert from the Austrian capital. The 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales perform Franz Schmidt, the Ulster Orchestra perform the great Double Concerto for violin and cello by Brahms and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra waltz us through Strauss' K眉nstlerleben. Plus, we celebrate the New Generation Artist class of 2023-2025. Today, pianist Alim Beisembayev plays items from Liszt's virtuosic 脠tudes d鈥檈x茅cution transcendante.
