Mozart, Rameau and Haydn from the Norfolk and Norwich Festival

Geneva Lewis performs Mozart's Violin Sonata in C, accordionist Ryan Corbett plays Rameau's Pi猫ces de clavecin, and the Leonkoro Quartet play Haydn's String Quartet, 'The Bird'.

New Generation Artists at the 2023 Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
Some of the most exciting young musical talent on the world stage make their eagerly-awaited appearances in the pitch-perfect acoustics of Norwich's historic Octagon Chapel. On the bill in this selection of recordings made at the series of Radio 3 New Generation Artists' concerts, the violinist Geneva Lewis pairs a sonata by Mozart with one from her compatriot, the New Zealander, Douglas Lilburn and the young Scottish accordion sensation, Ryan Corbett, plays Rameau. Also in the first half, the Leonkoro Quartet - who over the last year or two have won just about every string quartet prize going - play Haydn's charming 'Bird' Quartet; its opening promises to sound especially magical in the glorious acoustic of the Octagon chapel, built around the time that Haydn wrote the work. And after Haydn, the lights are dimmed for the sell-out concert from the star jazz keyboardist Fergus McCreadie and his Trio as they play tracks from their album Forest Floor. Shortlisted for a Mercury Prize it instantly topped the UK Jazz & Blues charts.
