´óÏó´«Ã½

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
Former ´óÏó´«Ã½ New Generation Artists, the Royal String Quartet, perform music in the studio by their Polish compatriots Szymanowski and Rozycki. They talk to Petroc about their UK tour and the annual Kwartesencja Festival which they set up in Warsaw in 2004.

Ahead of performances of all six of Bach's Cello Suites at St John's Smith Square, London, William Butt plays Bach and Britten in the studio.
