Chamber music by Debussy, Prokofiev and Vaughan Williams from Lammermuir Festival.

Violinist Alina Ibragimova performs with pianist Stephen Osborne, and baritone Roderick Williams joins the Maxwell Quartet and pianist Christopher Glynn at the Lammermuir Festival.

From the Lammermuir festival in East Lothian violinist Alina Ibragimova and pianist Steven Osborne perform Prokofiev’s dark violin sonata No 1 Op. 80 and Debussy’s violin sonata, his final work.  
Debussy wrote his violin sonata when he was ill with cancer and remarked it was ‘an example of what may be produced by a sick man in time of war’.  
Baritone Roderick Williams performs his own arrangement of Vaughan Williams folk song settings with the Maxwell Quartet and pianist Christopher Glynn.
