Pavel Kolesnikov and Friends

John Toal introduces performances by Radio 3 New Generation Artists at the Belfast International Arts Festival. Recorded in the Naughton Studio of Belfast's Lyric Theatre, pianist Pavel Kolesnikov accompanies two colleagues on the Scheme, baritone Benjamin Appl and horn player Alec Frank-Gemmill, in works by Grieg and Saint-Saens respectively.

Alec Frank-Gemmill, Principal Horn with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, also appears alongside other SCO wind players, in a performance of Jean-Michel Damase's Dix-sept Variations for Wind Quintet; and Pavel Kolesnikov rounds the programme off with a selection of Chopin Mazurkas.
