John Toal introduces performances of works by Britten, Schulhoff and Schubert.

Siobhán Doyle and Alexei Grynyuk play Britten, the Pavel Haas Quartet perform Schulhoff and Anna Fedorova plays Schubert's 'Arpeggione' Sonata. Introduced by John Toal.

John Toal introduces highlights from the 2021 West Cork Chamber Music Festival, with performances presented virtually from across Europe and the US.

The programme begins in Studio 150, Bethlehemkerk, Amsterdam with a performance of Britten's Suite for Violin and Piano Op.6. He'd written the work in his twenties while on a European tour with his mother and it's performed today by the Irish violinist Siobhán Doyle and British-Ukrainian pianist Alexei Grynyuk. 

The Pavel Haas Quartet is in the spotlight next at the Cermak Eisenkraft Gallery in Prague, with Erwin Schulhoff's String Quartet No.1. It was written in 1924, by which time the composer had fought in World War 1 and returned to Prague where he indulged his passion for jazz and nightclubs and dancing.  

Finally cellist Anastasia Kobekina, a recent graduate of the Radio 3 New Generation Artist Scheme, performs Schubert's colourful Sonata in A minor D.821 - "Arpeggione" - with pianist Anna Fedorova. It was recorded at Kasteel Amerongen in the Netherlands.
