Nicolas Altstaedt, Francesco Piemontesi, Escher String Quartet

Nicolas Altstaedt (cello) in Vivaldi: Sonata in E minor, RV40. Francesco Piemontesi (piano) in Schumann: Kinderszenen. Escher Quartet in Janacek: String Quartet No 2.

From Vivaldi to Janacek in a single studio: three Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ studio recordings showcasing the talents of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists. Nicolas Altstaedt performs Vivaldi's Cello Sonata in E minor RV40 (joined by harpsichordist Jonathan Cohen), Francesco Piemontesi follows with Schumann's deceptively naive Kinderszenen (or 'Scenes from Childhood') for solo piano, and the Escher String quartet concludes with Janacek's emotional roller-coaster - his String Quartet no. 2 "Intimate Letters".
