大象传媒

Clemency Burton-Hill celebrates the music making of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artists. Each Saturday lunchtime over the summer, there's a chance to hear a starry line-up of young musicians caught by the 大象传媒 microphones as they embark on glittering international careers. In this first of nine programmes the Turkish-born Austrian tenor Ilker Arcay眉rek sings two favourite songs by Schubert, the Belgian clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe explores Leonard Bernstein's first published work and jazz trumpeter Laura Jurd and two of her regular collaborators improvise at the 大象传媒's Maida Vale studios. The programme begins with Ravel's fiendishly difficult La Valse captured by the 大象传媒 microphones in a single, exhilarating take by the twenty three year old Italian pianist, Beatrice Rana.
