New Generation Artists - ATOS Trio, Khatia Buniatishvili, Daniela Lehner

The Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme exists to provide support to some of the brightest talents in the world of classical music, and in the ten years of its existence has numbered artists such as the Belcea String Quartet, Paul Lewis, Janine Jansen, Natalie Clein and Alice Coote among its distinguished members. In the fifth of ten early-evening programmes over the Christmas period, we hear studio performances by some of the scheme's current members, including tonight the ATOS Trio from Germany in a short march by Fritz Kreisler, Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili in Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata, and Austrian mezzo-soprano Daniela Lehner in two Spanish Christmas songs by Joaquin Nin.
