Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert - 07/10/2008

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 nine years of its existence has numbered artists such as the Belcea String Quartet, Paul Lewis, Janine Jansen and Alice Coote among its distinguished members. In the first of four lunchtime programmes this week, we hear studio and live concert performances by some of the scheme's current members, including today the Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter in three Mazurkas by Chopin, and, from the Czech Republic, the Pavel Haas Quartet in Beethoven's great A minor Quartet, Op. 132. Full programme: Chopin: 3 Mazurkas, Op. 59 Ingrid Fliter (piano) EMI 5148992 Beethoven: String Quartet in A minor, Op. 132 Pavel Haas Quartet
