Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays Ravel's Piano Concerto in G

Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings, including music from Leipzig and chamber performances from the 麻豆社 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 sparkling music by Bach, the women of the MDR Radio Chorus, Leipzig join the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra for choral music by Brahms, and the acclaimed French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard joins forces with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra to perform Ravel's evergreen G major Piano Concerto.
Elsewhere in the programme, exclusively recorded music from our current 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artists - pianist Julius Asal, cellist Sterling Elliott and violinist Hana Chang. And the bassoon is in the spotlight this week. Today, a Vivaldi Concerto - for Two Violins, Two Oboes and Bassoon from Camerata Bern.
