Jean-Guihen Queyras and pianist Alexandre Tharaud

Debussy's Cello Sonata alongside Kodaly, Poulenc and 17th-century French master Marin Marais performed at the 2011 Edinburgh International Festival.

Every weekday for three weeks, Radio 3 broadcasts one of the stand-out concerts from the Queen鈥檚 Hall over the past decade. Today Jamie MacDougall introduces the versatile French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, who combines a career as soloist in both baroque and contemporary ensembles. In today's archive Edinburgh Festival concert from 2011, Queyras contrasts a suite by the 17th-century French master of viola da gamba Marin Marais, with three great landmarks of 20th-century cello repertoire. He is joined by the equally distinguished pianist and regular duo partner Alexandre Tharaud.
