Summer Chamber Music in the Ulster Hall.

Alexandra Soumm, violin; Julien Quentin, piano.

Mozart: Violin Sonata in B flat, K378. 
Strauss: Violin Sonata.

Mozart wrote his Violin Sonata in B flat, K378, when he was in his mid-twenties: part of a set of violin sonatas that were among the composer's first publications, and the first to be published in Vienna. Moscow-born Radio 3 New Generation Artist Alexandra Soumm begins her programme with this elegant three-movement work, accompanied by French pianist Julien Quentin.

Richard Strauss was in his early 20s when he completed the Sonata in E flat and, although he went on to compose for a further 60 years, he never returned to chamber music. The grandiose conception of the two parts in this work demands almost concerto-like strength and projection from the players. A powerful close to today's Lunchtime Concert.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.

Series of performances given during the summer of 2011 in the Ulster Hall, Belfast
