The Navarra Quartet play Haydn and the Schubert Ensemble perform Schubert's Trout Quintet.

The Navarra Quartet play Haydn's String Quartet in E flat, Op 9 No 2, at the Machynlleth Festival and the Schubert Ensemble perform Schubert's Trout Quintet at the Gower Festival.

This week's concerts are from festivals held in the Gower Peninsula and the picturesque mid-Wales market-town of Machynlleth. Every August since 1986, the Tabernacle in Machynlleth has been home to an international music festival. Today the Navarra Quartet perform the second of Haydn's Opus 9 quartets. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2016, Gower Festival takes place a month earlier, in churches spread across an area that boasts one of Wales' most spectacular landscapes. Recorded at All Saints in Oystermouth, the Schubert Ensemble perform Schubert's Trout Quintet. 
Presented by Christopher Cook.
