Sarah Walker presents a programme of music from this year's Schwetzingen Festival, Bartok's early Piano Quintet, a Sonata by Haydn.

With Sarah Walker.

Performances from the 2018 Schwetzingen Festival. Today's programme has a distinctly Hungarian flavour, with 2 outstanding Hungarian pianists Denes Varjon and Deszo Ranki, and a performance of an early piece by Bartok.

Bartok withdrew his Piano Quintet of 1904 soon after it was first performed. The music belongs to an age already well in the past for Bartok and he never permitted its publication in his lifetime. So, is it the piece of embarrassing juvenilia that Bartok thought it to be, or does it reveal something about the 20 year old Bartok.

And from the fringes of the Schwetzingen Festival, part of a recital for viola and Lute, John Coltrane's ;Naima'
