  1. Quintet for piano and strings in G minor Op 57 - Dmitry Shostakovich
  2. Chamber Music V, 'Barabbas Variations', for accordion and strings Op 80 - Aulis Sallinen
  3. String Quintet in C D 956; Op 163 - Franz Schubert

Unusually, something we have played in the Festival before – although only once, eight years ago. Not the Shostakovich or Salinen, both of which are new, but the Schubert. The Sallinen piece, also known as the 'Barabbas Variations' contains many echoes of Piazzolla and the tango. Both the Shostakovich and the Schubert are towering works, suitable for finishing a Festival – except that one wants the slow movement of the Schubert never to end.
