An American in Paris from trumpeter Simon Höfele

Chamber music from Radio 3's New Generation Artists: the guitarist Thibaut Garcia plays a chaconne by Bach and trumpeter Simon Höfele dazzles in Gershwin's An American in Paris.

New Generation Artists: Thibaut Garcia plays Bach and Simon Höfele plays Gershwin.

Thibaut Garcia gave this performance of Bach's famous violin chaconne in the picture gallery at Glynde Place in Sussex, a room which he describes as 'the perfect space for a guitar.' Also today, Simon Höfele - who appears at Glynde Place this weekend - plays a virtuosic arrangement of a favourite by Gershwin.
