This week's concerts are from festivals held in two of Britain's most beautiful areas, the Gower Peninsula and the picturesque mid-Wales market-town of Machynlleth. Today's highlights include songs by Schumann and Welsh composer Rhian Samuel's new work Wildflower Songbook, written specially for and sung by mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany with pianist Sholto Kynoch, recorded at Machynlleth's Tabernacle, and Trio Isimsiz perform Schumann's restless last Piano Trio - written in 1851, just five years before his death - in the peaceful location of St. John's Gowerton.
