Violinist Elina Vahala and pianist Barry Douglas perform music by Brahms and Beethoven.

From 2014's Clandeboye Festival, Barry Douglas (piano) in Brahms: 3 Intermezzi, Op 117. Plus Elina Vahala (violin), Barry Douglas in Beethoven: Violin Sonata in A, Op 47 (Kreutzer).

John Toal introduces the third of four recital programmes from this year's Clandeboye Festival at the Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, Co. Down. Today's concert features music from Brahms and Beethoven, and soloists Barry Douglas and violinist Elina Vahala. Brahms' 3 Intermezzi display the composer's more reflective side: intimate pieces he wrote towards the end of his life. While in contrast, the Beethoven Violin Sonata in A is a showpiece for violin and pianist- a real musical 'tour de force'.

Brahms: 3 Intermezzi Op. 117
Barry Douglas (piano)

Beethoven: Violin Sonata in A op. 47 "Kreutzer"
Elina Vahala (violin) Barry Douglas (piano).
