John Toal presents highlights from the 24th West Cork Chamber Music Festival. Featuring music by Beethoven, Mozart and Hindemith.

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 Beethoven's Variations on Mozart鈥檚 Bei M盲nnern, welche Liebe f眉hlen, WoO 46, from the Magic Flute, showing Beethoven's light-hearted side.

We stay in St. Brendan's for a performance of Mozart's String Quartet in D minor, K.421, by the Chiaroscuro Quartet: the second of the 鈥淗aydn鈥� Quartets, composed in 1783, and the only one in a minor key.

And finally we move to the opulence and grandeur of the Library in Bantry House for a performance of Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik, Op.24, No.2. It's performed by the award-winning Azahar Ensemble.
