Georgia Mann presents the first of five concerts this week showcasing highlights from the season around Europe, with Kirill Petrenko leading the Berlin Philharmonic in Berg's Lulu Suite and Beethoven's Symphony No 9 in D minor, recorded in the Philharmonie, Berlin. On August 23, 2019, one of the most hotly anticipated musical partnerships officially got underway as Kirill Petrenko stood before the Berlin Philharmonic as its new chief conductor. Each of their previous concerts had left a deep impression on audiences, critics and the orchestra itself, and for this inaugural one, Petrenko chose to pair Berg's late-Romantic orchestral masterpiece with Beethoven's final symphony, its visionary choral finale, a hymn to joy, freighted with so many associations both in Germany and internationally.

NGA 20th Anniversary Week.

Fiona Talkington presents concerts from across Europe featuring alumni of the BBC New Generation Artist scheme, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary year this week. Tonight's programme features one-time members of the BBC NGA scheme who have gone on to international success and now perform all over the world. In this selection of recordings from the past 12 months, we visit the Belgian Radio Klarafest in Brussels, the Montpellier Festival, the Mihail Jora Concert Hall in Bucharest, the Czech Chamber Music Society concerts in the Rudolfinum in Prague, and the Konzerthaus in Berlin - all in the company of some of the outstanding musicians of our time, all of whom have come through the BBC's scheme to support young musicians. In the days before BBC introducing, the New Generation Scheme began offering a helping hand and concert experience to a varied collection of singers, groups and instrumentalists just starting out on their musical careers, and every two years the doors would open to a new intake of potential super stars. The Artemis Quartet featured between 2003 and 2005, Nicolas Alstaedt in 2010-2012, the Pavel Haas Quartet (2007-2009) and Alina Ibragimova (2005-2007).

Winter Journey: Alice Coote Performs Schubert's Epic Song Cycle.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the BBC New Generation Artists scheme. Alice Coote sings Schubert's Winterreise. Georgia Mann introduces Schubert's epic Winter Journey in a performance given recently at London's Wigmore Hall by the great British mezzo-soprano, an early member of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme. Founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting and nurturing some of the world's most exciting young musicians at the start of their international careers, the NGA scheme now boasts well over a hundred distinguished alumni, many of whom, like Alice Coote - an NGA between 2001 and 2003 - are major players on the world stage. Membership of the scheme is for a period of just over two years, during which time artists can expect to appear at some of the UK's most prestigious venues and festivals, perform with the BBC orchestras, make studio recordings, and commission new work. Schubert: Winterreise, song-cycle D.911. Alice Coote (mezzo-soprano), Julius Drake (piano). Schubert wrote his melancholy cycle in 1827 when he was already wracked by the illness which was to kill him. As his friend, the poet Mayrhofer wrote: `His life had lost its rosiness and winter was upon him." Yet these songs, often bleak in their outlook, were for Schubert, the greatest he'd ever written, he told his friends at the time: "Today I will play you a cycle of terrifying songs; they have affected me more than has ever been the case with any other songs. These songs please me more than all the rest, and in time they will please you as well.".

Piano Experiments.

Beethoven's piano variations are a continuous thread which run through the whole of his composing life. The five sets of variations in Cédric Tiberghien's recital, from the earliest period in Beethoven's career, brilliantly show what Beethoven could already do with a simple theme. Tiberghien has chosen to intersperse Beethoven's variations with music by 20th-century American experimentalists. It's a fitting tribute: Beethoven was, after all, one of the most forward-thinking figures in all music, constantly trying out what could be achieved by pushing the limits of instruments, especially his own, the piano. And like Beethoven, these 20th-century composers are striving to discover new ways of writing for the piano, from the chance elements of John Cage's 7 Haiku, to the haunting beauty of George Crumb's Processional, which lets the pianist choose from alternative passages in the score. Recorded last month at Wigmore Hall and presented by Georgia Mann. Beethoven: 5 Variations on Rule Britannia in D, WoO 79. Feldman: Last Pieces. Beethoven: 6 Variations on an Original Theme in G, WoO 77. Cage: 7 Haiku Cage: 7 Haiku. Beethoven: 9 Variations on a March by Dressler in C minor, WoO 63. Interval. Crumb: Processional. Beethoven: 12 Variations on Menuet à la Viganò from Haibel's Le nozze disturbate in C, WoO 68. Cage: In a Landscape. Beethoven: 7 Variations on God save the King in C, WoO 78.

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Fiona Talkington presents a concert given by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mariss Jansons, as well as music by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Simon Rattle. This concert was Jansons' final appearance with the orchestra in Munich, and featured three composers said to be particularly close to his heart. It begins with the rumbustious overture to Weber's 1823 heroic opera Euryanthe, before Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder joins for a spellbinding performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 2, which the young composer used as a vehicle for his own performances as a virtuoso. The interval features Buchbinder playing Beethoven's Piano Sonata No 30 and following the break, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra returns to the platform for a dazzling performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No 10. Written in the wake of Stalin's death in 1953, Shostakovich felt a surge of relief, freedom and creativity: his musical moniker - DSCH (D, E flat, C, B) - is woven throughout the work, satisfyingly coming to dominate the violent portrait Stalin in the scherzo and ending the whole symphony in a blaze of triumph. To close this programme, there os a recording of clarinettist Sabine Meyer playing Nielsen's Clarinet Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Simon Rattle. Weber: Overture - Euryanthe. Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 2 in B flat, Op 19. Rudolf Buchbinder (piano), Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Mariss Jansons (conductor). 8.10 Interval.

Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius.

The Dream of Gerontius, one of the most moving works in the choral repertory, is based on a poem by the Catholic Cardinal (now Saint) John Henry Newman which tells the story of the dying Gerontius's soul as it passes from life into death, from judgement to purgatory. Elgar imagined Gerontius as a man like us with all his worldly sins, brought before God for judgement. He poured his heart into the work, throughout the score his great mastery of orchestration and choral writing is on display and it is for good reason that Elgar wrote at the end of his manuscript `This is the best of me, this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory." Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius. Christine Rice (Angel, mezzo soprano), Paul Groves (Gerontius, tenor), Neal Davies (Priest/Angel of the Agony, bass) Choir of Clare College Cambridge London, Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Edward Gardner (conductor). Performance given in March 2011 at The Royal Festival Hall.
