³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Available for 28 days

Mark Forrest introduces an afternoon of specially recorded music including highlights from this summer's Ryedale Festival in Yorkshire, bringing music to some of the wonderful halls and churches in the rural north-east of the county. This week we feature concerts given by some of Radio 3's New Generation Artists. Also this week Mark features British orchestral music by Benjamin Britten and his contemporaries, in particular the music of Walton and Tippett. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Symphony Orchestra provide an all too rare chance to hear Britten's Diversions for piano left-hand and orchestra in a recent recording with pianist Clare Hammond. But we begin the week with a live concert from Wigmore Hall. Robin Holloway’s new Piano Quartet, dedicated to the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective’s artistic director and pianist Tom Poster, receives its first London outing this lunchtime. It stands alongside one of Holloway’s most beloved composers, Brahms, and the emotionally turbulent First Piano Quartet.
