This week's concerts are from festivals held in the Gower Peninsula and the picturesque mid-Wales market-town of Machynlleth. Today, mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany explores French song repertoire with pianist Sholto Kynoch and the Schubert Ensemble play a new piece inspired by the landscape from Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Fauré's emotionally charged First Piano Quartet.
Introduced by Christopher Cook.
