Hannah French continues the week of Lunchtime Concerts in the Basically Beethoven series, recorded at LSO St Luke's in London last month.

Today the star pianists, and great friends, Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy play a programme of duets and musical variations, starting and ending with two sets by Beethoven. These duos were written to be played by music-lovers at home, and are full of imaginative playfulness.  The programme includes variations by Britten for solo piano, and by Schubert for piano duet.
