Schubert's Quartettsatz, D703 and Brahms's String Sextet No 2 in G, Op 36.

Schubert's Quartettsatz, D703, and Brahms's gloriously tuneful String Sextet in G, Op 36, at Presteigne and Machyynlleth's summer music festivals.

Christopher Cook's final roundup from three of the summer's music festivals in Wales, takes us back to the pretty border town of Presteigne, where the Navarra Quartet began their programme in St. Andrew's Church with Schubert's string quartet fragment, the Quartettsatz and then  we head over the Cambrian mountains to Machynlleth where the Marmen Quartet was joined by Rosalind Ventris and Marcin Sieniawski for one of Brahms's most glorious contributions to chamber music, his second string sextet.
