St Magnus International Festival: Jamal Aliyev and Can Cakmur

Young Turkish cellist Jamal Aliyev performs Brahms and Shostakovich in Kirkwall with pianist and compatriot Can Cakmur.

Two young award-winning musicians from Turkey, cellist Jamal Aliyev and pianist Can Cakmur make their debut at the UK's most northerly classical music festival with a programme challenging both instruments in equal partnership. Brahms' passionate Second Cello Sonata is contrasted with Shostakovich's early sonata; a work also affected by emotional turmoil in his love life as well as a virtuosic showpiece for both instruments. They perform in the 12th century St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall.
