Performances of chamber music by Schumann, Haydn, Sally Beamish and Handel.

John Toal presents the second in our series of Lunchtime Concerts from this year's West Cork Chamber Music Festival, recorded in Bantry, West Cork.

Today's recital opens with a performance of Schumann's Violin Sonata No.1 in A minor, written in September 1851- with Russian-British violinist, Alina Ibragimova who's joined by pianist Cédric Tiberghien. Then, two performances by the Trio Gaspard linked together thematically; first, Haydn's Piano Trio in F# minor written when the composer was in London and dedicated to the musician Rebecca Schroeter. This is followed by the premiere Sally Beamish's Piano Trio which is inspired in part by the Haydn Trio.

To complete today's recital, a sonata by Handel- his Sonata in A major performed by violinist Ariadne Daskalakis with Michael Borgstede on harpsichord
