Music by Debussy, Abrahamsen and Beethoven from the Lammermuir Festival 2016.

With Andreas Borregaard (accordion), Lisa Fershtman (violin) and Roman Rabinovich (piano). Debussy: Violin Sonata in G minor. Hans Abrahamsen: Air. Beethoven Violin Sonata No 10.

Highlights from three concerts recorded at this year's Lammermuir Festival in East Lothian. The Dutch violinist Lisa Fershtman teams up with Roman Rabinovich, winner of the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master Competition in 2008, and today's broadcast features two works from that concert. The short and quixotic violin sonata in G minor was Debussy's final work and yet is full of joy and colour. Beethoven's Violin Sonata No 10 in G includes a set of variations for the fourth movement to play to the strengths of the violinist Pierre Rode, who premiered the work. In complete contrast, Andreas Borregaard performs the sparse and atmospheric Air by the Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen.
