Sarah Walker introduces highlights from the 74th Cheltenham Music Festival and performances given in the Georgian splendour of the Pittville Pump Room. Today, Nicholas Daniel’s Haffner Ensemble present a programme of music for winds including a dazzling arrangement of Ravel’s well-loved, Le Tombeau de Couperin. They are joined by pianist Charles Owen to perform music by Beethoven that pitches a flamboyant piano part alongside richly inventive writing for oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon.

Mozart (arr. Nicholas Daniel): Adagio and Allegro in F minor K594
Ravel (arr. Mason Jones): Le Tombeau de Couperin
Beethoven: Quintet for Piano and Wind Instruments
