Jazz from Misha Mullov-Abbado, Gershwin from Simon Hofele and Faure from Catriona Morison

New Generation Artists. In the last programme in her Christmas series, Clemency Burton-Hill introduces the latest members to join the scheme in their first recordings in the BBC studios. Today we hear from jazz bass player Misha Mullov-Abbado, the dazzling Austrian trumpeter Simon Hofele and the Quatuor Arod, from France. Also today, Catriona Morison, winner of the 2017 Cardiff Singer of the World, brings her lustrous mezzo-soprano voice to songs by Fauré and and some rarities by Pierre Vellones.
