Schubert And Mahler2018110220211224 (R3)The recent Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend at Snape Maltings brought together current members of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme to celebrate the music of Schubert alongside works by other major composers. In this final concert the Amatis Piano Trio and viola-player Eivind Ringstad perform the single movement that survives from the youthful Mahler's unfinished Piano Quartet, and are joined by double bass player Adam Wynter in one of the most popular of all Schubert's chamber works, the delightfully evergreen 'Trout' Quintet.

Introduced by Petroc Trelawny.

Schubert At Aldeburgh, Piano Trio In E Flat2018103120211222 (R3)The recent Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend at Snape Maltings brought together current members of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme to celebrate the music of Schubert. In this second concert, the Amatis Piano Trio perform the second of Schubert's great piano trios, a giant of the repertoire that is both lyrically touching and ripe with emotional nuance. The slow movement features one of the most the haunting melodies Schubert ever wrote, said to have been taken from a melancholy Swedish folk tune but treated by the composer in a way that makes it truly his own.

Introduced by Petroc Trelawny.

Schubert, Beethoven And Tchaikovsky2018110120211223 (R3)The recent Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend at Snape Maltings brought together current members of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme to celebrate the music of Schubert alongside works by other major composers. In this third concert violinist Aleksey Semenenko is joined by pianist Inna Firsova in Schubert's Grand Duo for violin and piano, a relaxed and assured work by a 19-year-old truly finding his feet as a composer of instrumental music. Beethoven's sonata, composed sixteen years earlier, is similarly genial, yet at the same time shot through with brilliance and wit. By contrast, Tchaikovsky's Meditation is a melody of typically deep and Romantic soulfulness.

Introduced by Petroc Trelawny.

Beethoven: Violin Sonata in G, Op. 30 No. 3

Tchaikovsky: M退ditation from Souvenir d'un lieu cher, Op. 42

Schubert, Britten And Mozart2018103020211221 (R3)The recent Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend at Snape Maltings brought together current members of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme to celebrate the music of Schubert alongside works by other major composers. In this first concert, Eivind Ringstad plays the 16-year-old Britten's precociously eloquent Elegy for solo viola, and teams up with pianist Mengjie Han (of the Amatis Piano Trio) in Schubert's irresistibly lyrical 'Arpeggione' Sonata, a work which was composed for a now-obsolete instrument but has since become one of the jewels of the viola repertoire. In between, violinist Aleksey Semenenko joins Eivind in one of the two delicious duos Mozart wrote for violin and viola.

Introduced by Petroc Trelawny.

Britten: Elegy

Mozart: Duo in B flat for violin and viola in E flat, K424
