BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Cheltenham Music Festival 2018, Chopin, Antheil, Haydn, Strauss

Chopin's Ballade no 1, Antheil, Haydn and Strauss's Capriccio Sextet in Cheltenham.

Chopin's Ballade No 1, Antheil's Trumpet Sonata, Haydn's String Quartet in G, Op 54, and Strauss's Capriccio Sextet, performed by Radio 3's New Generation Artists in Cheltenham.

Sarah Walker introduces performances given by Radio 3's New Generation Artists in the historic setting of the Pittville Pump Room at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival.  Pianist Mariam Batsashvili plays Chopin's moving First Ballade, a work that was immediately recognised by Schumann as being one that revealed his true genius.  The immensely appealing, kaleidoscopic brilliance of the American composer George Antheil is showcased by the trumpeter Simon Hofele, and the Calidore Quartet perform one of Haydn's less frequently performed quartets before being joined by Eivind Ringstad and Andrei Ionita for the shimmering Sextet from the opera Capriccio by Richard Strauss.
