BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Cheltenham Festival 2016, Episode 2

Satie, Ravel's Mother Goose and a Haydn quartet from the 2016 Cheltenham Music Festival.

Pascal and Ami Roge (piano) perform music by Satie and Ravel. Plus the Doric String Quartet in Haydn's String Quartet in B minor, Op 64 No 2.

This week's lunchtime concerts come from Cheltenham Music Festival. Recorded in the elegant Regency setting of the Pittville Pump Room, today's highlights include one of Satie's best loved pieces for solo piano. His partner in life and music, Ami, joins Pascal Rogé in a performance for piano duet of Ravel's Mother Goose, fairytale settings written for his close friend's children. And Haydn spreads his compositional wings in the second of his Opus 64 quartets, played here by the Doric String Quartet. 
Presented by Fiona Talkington.
