West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2022 (1/4)

John Toal presents a week of highlights from the 2022 West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Performances in this programme include works by Haydn, Poulenc and Rachmaninov.

John Toal presents highlights from this year's West Cork Chamber Music Festival, recorded in Bantry, West Cork.

As part of their celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the String Quartet, the Signum Quartet perform Haydn's Quartet in G minor, the third from his Opus 20 set. Then the Orsino Ensemble are joined by pianist Alasdair Beatson in a performance of Poulenc's Sextet for Piano and Winds, first performed in 1933 and revised a few years later by the composer. To finish today's recital, cellist Ella van Poucke is joined by Nathalia Milstein on piano and Rachmaninov's Two Pieces, an early work by the composer and among his first works to be published.
