Elisabeth Brauss and friends perform Brahms and Ravel.

From Belfast, Leonard Elschenbroich performs Brahms's Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor with Elizabeth Brauss, who also plays Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin.

John Toal introduces the last of four recitals featuring the German pianist Elisabeth Brauss and friends.

They were recorded as part of the 2023 Belfast International Arts Festival in St. Mark’s Church, Dundela, in east Belfast: the church in which CW Lewis was baptised and where his grandfather was rector.

Elisabeth Brauss graduated from BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artist Scheme in 2021 and is widely respected for her collaborative music-making. Today she’s joined by cellist Leonard Elschenbroich, another graduate of the scheme, for performances of works by Brahms and Ravel.
