Radio 3 New Generation Artists in music by Bach, Scarlatti, Schubert, Massenet and Strauss

Louis Schwizgebel (piano) in Bach and Scarlatti, and songs with horn by Schubert, Massenet and Strauss with Olena Tokar (soprano) and Alec Frank-Gemmill (horn).

Clemency Burton-Hill introduces the first of four programmes showcasing the talents of Radio 3's starry line-up of New Generation Artists. Now in its 16th year, the New Generation Artists scheme brings listeners the very best of emerging British and international talent. The 'NGAs' are offered many opportunities to perform in chamber concerts and with the BBC orchestras; every day this week we hear the fruits of their work in the studio, in recordings made specially for Radio 3.

Today's programme sees Swiss-Chinese pianist Louis Schwizgebel perform works by two great baroque keyboard composers, and Ukrainian soprano Olena Tokar join forces with British horn-player Alec Frank-Gemmill.
