More performances from the Cheltenham Music Festival 2013. Lawrence Power (viola) and Simon Crawford-Philips (piano) perform Britten's "Lachrymae" after John Dowland, and the Phantasy for viola and piano by the late Romantic English composer York Bowen.
Plus, Boris Giltburg returns with Schumann's highly imaginative suite of fleeting miniatures, "Carnaval" - described by one critic as "one of the most vibrant parties in 19th-century piano literature".
