Ashley Riches and Aleksey Semenenko
Continuing Kate Molleson's series celebrating the music-making of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ New Generation Artists, with Ukrainian violinist Aleksey Semenenko and English bass-baritone Ashley Riches.
Kate Molleson celebrates the music making of the current ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ New Generation Artists. Three of the current line-up of musicians are heard today, caught by the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ microphones, as they embark on glittering international careers. In this second of eight Saturday programmes the Ukrainian violinist Aleksey Semenenko dazzles in a set of variations on a theme from the Barber of Seville and the English bass baritone Ashley Riches brings his understanding of poetry to Britten's masterful settings of William Blake.

For nearly two decades, the Radio 3 New Generation Artist Scheme has nurtured the talents of some of the world's finest instrumentalists, chamber ensembles and singers at the outset of their international careers. Each year, six or seven young musicians are offered a two year platform on which to develop their solo and chamber music careers. This includes studio recordings, engagements with the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Orchestras and a raft of engagements at some of the UK's leading Festivals including the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, Bath, Cheltenham and Edinburgh Festivals among many others.
