Music by Beethoven and Borodin from the 2015 West Cork Festival.

Philippe Bernold (flute), Chloe Hanslip (violin) and Lilli Maijala (viola) perform Beethoven's Serenade in D, Op 25. Plus the Borodin Quartet in Borodin's String Quartet No 2 in D.

John Toal presents highlights from the 20th West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

We begin in St.Brendan's Church for a performance of Beethoven's Serenade in D Major Op.25 by 3 internationally renowned young musicians: Finnish violist Lilli Maijala, English violinist Chloe Hanslip and French flautist Philippe Bernold. The Serenade was published in 1802 and there's a light, airy and elegant feel to the six short movements.

That's followed by the Borodin Quartet performing Borodin: his lyrical 2nd String Quartet, written as an anniversary present for his wife.
