ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Generation Artists in Bristol and Ruth Reinhardt conducts Reinecke in Leipzig

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Generation Artists Niamh O’Sullivan & Alim Beisembayev in recital at St George’s, Bristol.

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

We return to the peerless acoustics of St George’s, Bristol for more from the series of recitals recorded there especially for Classical Live and featuring current members of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Generation Artists Scheme. Today we hear a trio of songs by Hamilton Harty from mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan and pianist Alim Beisembayev performing Scarlatti sonatas.

There’s more music by Johann Sebastian Bach as we continue our celebration of the musical city of Leipzig, and at 2pm the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra perform the Symphony No. 2 by another, lesser-known German composer: Carl Reinecke.
