Winter Showcase: Anastasia Kobekina, Aris Quartet, Elizabeth Brauss

New Generation Artists Winter Showcase: the class of 2018-21.
In this last programme in the series, Georgia Mann pays tribute to the departing members of Radio 3's young artist programme. In their final BBC studio recording, the Aris Quartet play the folk music influenced last string quartet of Pavel Haas, a pupil of Janacek, who met his death in Auschwitz. And Anastasia Kobekina plays a cello sonata by Mieczysław Weinberg, a composer much admired by Shostakovich, which has at its musical core a ravishingly beautiful Kaddish-like interlude. There's also some light hearted Mozart and Latin American songs about flowers for good measure.
