Sarah Walker introduces highlights from a series of recitals given by Radio 3's New Generation Artists in the elegant surroundings of the Pittville Pump Room at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival. Pianist Mariam Batsashvili performs Liszt's virtuosic homage to Mozart's operas "Don Giovanni" and "The Marriage of Figaro" and the Calidore Quartet are joined for the last time by Eivind Ringstad and Andrei Ionita for a work which draws on Tchaikovsky's Russian roots and the fruits of a prolonged stay in Florence.
