大象传媒

Clemency Burton-Hill celebrates the music making of the 大象传媒 New Generation Artists. In nine early evening programmes over the Christmas season there will be a chance to hear a starry line-up of young musicians caught by the 大象传媒 microphones when they are on the brink of glittering international careers. In this first programme, NGA baritone, Benjamin Appl, the Gramophone Young Artist of the Year 2016, sings Goethe settings by Hugo Wolf and Pavel Kolesnikov, whose recent recording of Chopin Mazurkas has received wide critical acclaim, plays Chopin's Scherzo no. 4. Also today, the Berlin-based Armida Quartet, who now feature regularly at the leading chamber music festivals of Europe and America, play Mozart.
