Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto from Hana Chang

Available for 29 days

Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a week-long focus on Leipzig, a pivotal centre in Western classical music. Dutch piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen join forces with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra to play Poulenc's Double Concerto, and the orchestra also perform Bartók's fantastical, folkloric pantomime ballet The Wooden Prince. Elsewhere in the programme, there is exclusively recorded music from three of the current BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists. Cellist Sterling Elliott plays Amy Beach, violinist Hana Chang joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to play Prokofiev's lyrical 2nd Violin Concerto, and flautist Elizaveta Ivanova performs music by Guillaume Connesson. And in a week foregrounding music for the bassoon, pianist and composer Stephen Hough joins friends to perform his Trio for flute, bassoon and piano.
