John Toal presents highlights from the 23rd West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Featuring music by Mozart, Debussy and Mendelssohn.

Mozart鈥檚 Trio in E Flat Major, K.498 (Kegelstatt) begins the programme, performed by 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist, clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe, with British violist Rosalind Ventris and Irish pianist Barry Douglas. It was recorded in the rich acoustic of St. Brendan's Church, situated on the main square in the centre of Bantry town. That was the same venue for a performance of Debussy鈥檚 Cello Sonata, which follows. It was written in 1915: a work using extended techniques which were both innovative at the time and still pertinent today. It is performed by Andreas Brantelid and Nathalia Milsteinthe.

We then move to the opulence and grandeur of the Library in Bantry House for a performance of Mendelssohn鈥檚 String Quartet in F minor, Op.80, with the Dutch Dudok Quartet, which closes the programme.
