Presented by Clemency Burton-Hill. Recent recording in which soprano and Radio 3 New Generation Artist Ruby Hughes performs Crumb's Apparition with pianist Julius Drake.

Clemency Burton-Hill presents the second programme in a new series showcasing the talents of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's New Generation Artists.

As part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists. Every autumn six to seven artists or groups who are beginning to make a mark on the national and international music scene are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their considerable talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Orchestras, special studio recordings for Radio 3, and, last but not least, appearances at the Proms.

Today, another chance to hear a recording made last year by a recent graduate of the NGA scheme, soprano Ruby Hughes, of George Crumb's Apparition.
