Kate Molleson introduces more of the artists joining Radio 3's prestigious young artist scheme this year. Alexander Gadjiev plays Liszt and The Consone Quartet play Haydn.

New Generation Artists: following on from yesterday's programme, the remaining two artists to join Radio 3's prestigious young artist scheme are heard in their debut BBC studio recordings. There's also more today from the mezzo Ema Nikolovska and the remarkable touch of the pianist Alexander Gadjiev is heard in a sequence of miniatures by Scriabin and a fiendish study by Liszt; the period instruments of the Consone Quartet shed new light on Haydn and Simon Hoefele, who left the scheme at the end of last year, is heard in a sneak preview of his forthcoming recording of the ever-popular Trumpet Concerto by Haydn.

Each year, Radio 3 selects six or seven remarkable musicians to join the scheme for two years each. During that time they record in the BBC’s studios, perform with the BBC’s orchestras and take part in some of the UK’s leading music festivals. Not surprisingly, the list of alumni reads like a Who's Who of the most exciting musicians of the past two decades. In this series, we can catch those artists near the beginnings of their journeys. Starting on New Year’s Day, we hear for the first time from the exciting artists who have recently joined the scheme: the nineteen-year-old Swedish violinist Johan Dalene, the viola player Timothy Ridout, the Macedonian-born mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska and the pianists Alexander Gadjiev and Eric Lu. The scheme also welcomes the jazz guitarist Rob Luft and the Consone Quartet, its first-ever period instrument string quartet.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
