John Toal presents highlights from the 24th West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Featuring music by Ibert, Grieg and Britten.

We begin in the rich acoustic of St. Brendan's Church, situated on the main square in the centre of Bantry town, with a performance of Ibert's Trois pi猫ces br猫ves: a short, punchy work for woodwind quintet from 1930.

Henning Kraggerud and D茅nes V谩rjon perform Grieg's Violin Sonata No.3 in C minor, Op.45, in the opulence and grandeur of the Library in Bantry House: a work composed in 1886-87, after Greig's two-decade-long break from the sonata genre.

And we return to St. Brendan's where D茅nes V谩rjon also accompanies Johannes Moser in Britten's Cello Sonata, Op.65 - premiered at the Aldeburgh Festival in July ly 1961.
