Winter Showcase Extra
Music from Romantic Paris by Fauré, Ravel and Augusta Holmès in performances by Radio 3's current and former New Generation Artists from the Â鶹Éç Proms and Ryedale Festivals.
Georgia Mann presents a feast of Fin de siècle French music from some of Radio 3's current and former New Generation Artists.
The baritone and collaborative pianist team up with the Quatuor Van Kuijk for 2024 anniversary composer, Gabriel Faure's La bonne chanson. And they opened their Â鶹Éç Prom at Ulster Hall in Belfast with a song cycle by Augusta Holmès. Born in Paris to an Irish father and a Scottish mother, she became a popular figure in the Bohemian life of Paris. In between these two Proms performances, the Colombian cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia can be heard at the Ryedale Festival in a sonata by Ravel. Written in 1895 when Ravel was studying with Fauré this Sonate Posthume was not published until many years later.
