Clemency Burton-Hill celebrates the music making of the BBC New Generation Artists. In the third programme in this summer series Zhang Zuo plays the lovestruck young Schumann's homage to Meta Abegg and Alec Frank-Gemmill tackles a horn transcription of a violin sonata movement by Brahms. Also on today's bill is an all-too-rare chance to hear Ethel Smyth's late Double Concerto.
