2019 East Neuk Festival (4/4)
The Pavel Haas Quartet and the Belcea Quartet perform Mendelssohn's Octet.
Kate Molleson presents the final Lunchtime Concert from last year's East Neuk Festival which was held in stunning venues along the east coast of Scotland.
We start at St Ayle Parish Church, where harpist Catrin Finch takes us on the winding journey of the river Moldau. In Crail Parish Church, Diyang Mei plays part of Benjamin Britten's Cello Suite No. 2, arranged for viola; and we finish at The Bowhouse in St Monans with the first ever collaboration between two great string quartets as the Pavel Haas and Belcea Quartets team up in Mendelssohn's Octet. Written when he was just 16, it is filled with youthful verve and brilliance.
