From Britten to The Beatles
Geneva Lewis dazzles in Waxman's Carmen Violin Fantasy, the Leonkoro Quartet plays Britten's 2nd Quartet and Hugh Cutting sings songs by Dowland and The Beatles.
Current members of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme in music ranging from the melancholy songs of John Dowland to the passion of Waxman's Carmen Fantasy. And, between them, a performance of the quartet that Benjamin Britten wrote in 1945 to mark the 250th anniversary of the death of English composer Henry Purcell.
