Classical music from the brightest rising stars

Music by Handel, Haydn, Schubert and Schumann, performed by Radio 3 New Generation Artists James Atkinson, Giorgi Gigashvili, the Chaos Quartet and Geneva Lewis.

Georgia Mann continues her series of programmes over the Christmas period celebrating the wealth of musical talents of the current members of Radio 3's young artist scheme. In the third programme, Georgia introduces the baritone James Atkinson who sings Schubert songs with the scheme's new collaborative pianist Michael Pandya. Violinist Geneva Lewis is known for her classy, accomplished performances and we'll hear her with pianist Sam Armstrong in one of Handel's elegant violin sonatas. The programme ends with a performance of Saint-Saens's first Cello Concerto with Santiago Canon Valencia, one of the most exciting young cellists on the scene, in a recent recording with the ±«Óãtv Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Bleuse.
