Recitals from the Belfast Music Society's International Festival of Chamber Music 2018.

Soprano Ailish Tynan, accompanied by pianist Iain Burnside, sings music by Brahms and Debussy, and pianist Llyr Williams plays Schumann's Nachtstucke.

John Toal presents the third in our series of recitals from the 2018 Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music. In today's programme, Brahms 6 Songs, Op. 7 will be performed by soprano Ailish Tynan and pianist Iain Burnside. These pieces come from an early period in Brahms's compositional career and are all set in a minor key, with a sense of melancholy. Then pianist Llŷr Williams returns with Schumann's 4 Nachtstücke Op. 23, written by the composer in a dark period of his life after a premonition of his brother's death. 

To finish today's programme, Ailish Tynan and Iain Burnside return with a selection of songs by Brahms, Debussy and Reynaldo Hahn.
