BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Cheltenham Festival 2016, Episode 4

Tailleferre, Poulenc and Mussorgsky's Pictures from the 2016 Cheltenham Music Festival.

With Pascal and Ami Roge (piano). Tailleferre: Images. Honegger: Pastorale d'ete. Poulenc: Piano Sonata. And Christian Lindberg (trombone) in Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

This week's lunchtime concerts come from Cheltenham Music Festival, recorded in the elegant Regency setting of the Pittville Pump Room. In today's highlights, French specialists, pianists Pascal Rogé and Ami Rogé, pay homage to three members of "Les Six", Germaine Tailleferre, Arthur Honegger and Francis Poulenc; and trombonist Christian Lindberg returns with his regular partner, pianist Roland Pöntinen, to perform their own arrangement of Mussorgsky's colourful tour around an imagined art gallery, which ends triumphantly with the bells ringing out at The Great Gate of Kiev. 

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
