Boris Giltburg plays Bartók’s 3rd Piano Concerto from Leipzig
Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings, including music from Leipzig and chamber performances from the Âé¶¹Éç Radio 3 New Generation Artists.
Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making, including a week-long focus on Leipzig, a pivotal centre in Western classical music. The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra perform Lili Boulanger's orchestral depiction of ‘A Morning in Spring’, and pianist Boris Giltburg joins the orchestra to play Béla Bartók's virtuoso 3rd Piano Concerto. There is also a performance of Sergei Taneyev's rarely programmed choral cantata John of Damascus, inspired by the religious writings of Tolstoy and performed by the MDR Radio Chorus and Orchestra, Leipzig.
Elsewhere in the programme, exclusive studio and concert recordings from Âé¶¹Éç Radio 3’s current selection of New Generation Artists. Cellist Sterling Elliott performs Perrault, and flautist Elizaveta Ivanova plays Faure.
And more music foregrounding the bassoon. Today’s choice is Poulenc's Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano in a performance given by oboist Albrecht Mayer, bassoonist Václav Vonásek and pianist Robert Kolinsky
