Songs by Ireland and Bridge, Bach fugues for string quartet and a Hindemith viola sonata.

With Kitty Whately (mezzo-soprano) performing songs by Ireland and Bridge, the Armida String Quartet playing Bach fugues and a Hindemith viola sonata performed by Lise Berthaud.

Clemency Burton-Hill introduces the second 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.

In today's programme British mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately sings Ireland's Songs Sacred and Profane and French viola-player Lise Berthaud performs a Hindemith Sonata, before the two join forces in three songs by Frank Bridge. The programme starts with three fugues from Bach's great compendium The Art of Fugue, performed by the Armida Quartet from Germany.
