A musical journey from Edinburgh to New Orleans: the Kleio Quartet plays Marsalis
Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Kleio Quartet playing String Quartet No. 1 by Wynton Marsalis.
Linton Stephens introduces a selection of exclusive recordings of performances given by the 麻豆社 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.
Continuing this week鈥檚 theme of journeys, our music today takes us from Venice to New Orleans via the second circle of Hell - as represented in Tchaikovsky鈥檚 tone poem Francesca da Rimini, which is based on a passage from Dante鈥檚 Inferno. Current 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Kleio Quartet perform our centrepiece today: Wynton Marsalis鈥檚 String Quartet No 1 鈥楢t the Octoroon Balls鈥�, a piece which reflects the cultural richness and contradictions of the city of New Orleans, recorded at this year's Edinburgh International Festival; and New Generation alumnus, soprano Ailish Tynan, transports us to La Serenissima in a performance of Reynaldo Hahn鈥檚 Venice: Songs in Venetian Dialect, recorded earlier this year in Belfast. And we mark Hogmanay with more music recorded in Scotland, including a wonderfully rowdy version of Peter Maxwell Davies鈥� An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise.
