BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Scotland Week, Nicola Benedetti

Nicola Benedetti performs Prokofiev's Violin Sonata No 1 and Franck's Violin Sonata.

Mary Ann Kennedy presents Nicola Benedetti performing Prokofiev's Violin Sonata No 1 and Franck's Violin Sonata live from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.

Nicola Benedetti makes her debut appearance as a recitalist on Radio 3 with two contrasting Sonatas of the early 20th century, Prokofiev's dark and brooding first sonata for violin and the well-loved Frank Violin Sonata. Nicola won the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2006 and has since gone on to be one of the most recognisable musicians in classical music today, in demand all over the world. She is joined by the young British-Ukrainian pianist, Alexei Grynyuk who also gained early recognition as a precocious talent when he won the Sergei-Diaghilev All-Soviet-Union competition at the age of 13. Presented by Mary Ann Kennedy
