International award-winning musicians perform music by Brahms and Schumann in Glasgow.

From the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, an international line up of award-winning musicians perform chamber music by Brahms and Schumann.

From Glasgow's Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Canadian violinist James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong perform Schumann’s Märchenbilder, music inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tales.  The Benedetti-Elschenbroich–Grynyuk Trio follow with Brahms’s much revised and revisited Piano Trio.  His final amendments were made 34 years after he first composed the piece and he wrote to Clara Schumann at the time, ‘I have rewritten my B major Trio and can now call it Op 108 instead of Op 8. It will not be so dreary as before—but will it be better?’
