Ursula Leveaux (bassoon) and the Navarra Quartet. Reicha: Grand Quintett for bassoon and string quartet. Jacob: Suite for bassoon and string quartet. Duncan Ward: Fagotto-me-notto.

In the final Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert from the Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall from the University of Leeds, Ursula Leveaux is joined by the Navarra Quartet for a performance of music for bassoon and string quartet. This unusual combination of instruments has spawned some hidden gems in the chamber music repertoire, including Anton Reicha's Gran Quintetto of 1826 and the delightful Suite for bassoon & string quartet by Gordon Jacob. There's also a brand new work in the programme, written especially for this concert by the young Manchester-based composer Duncan Ward, and entitled "Fagotto-me-notto".

REICHA - Grand Quintetto for bassoon & string quartet
JACOB - Suite for bassoon & string quartet
DUNCAN WARD - Fagotto-me-notto.
