Mark Simpson's Hold Your Heart in Your Teeth
The latest cutting edge music including performances from recent New Generations Artists the violinist Geneva Lewis, harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani and viola player Timothy Ridout.
Tom Service introduces some of the most exciting sounds in new music ranging from the epic to the intimate.
Many of the performances come from recent members of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme including Miroslav Srnka's Standstill for harpsichord and orchestra performed by Mahan Esfahani, Reena Esmail's Darshan played by Geneva Lewis and Sandra Boss's 脝TER, for ebows and instruments premiered at Glasgow's Nordic Days by the Chaos Quartet. And, from viola player, Timothy Ridout, comes the world premiere at the Berlin Philharmonie of Mark Simpson's Hold Your Heart in Your Teeth. The title comes from the Romanian proverb meaning 鈥榯o go forwards in life with courage and faith, despite fear and trepidation鈥�, appropriate, Mark Simpson says for any concerto soloist who relies upon immense courage and self-belief as they are pushed to their very limits.
