Linton Stephens introduces exclusive recordings from summer festivals including an eclectic range of chamber music from Edinburgh and Dvorak and Beethoven from the Albert Hall.

From this year’s Edinburgh International Festival cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason presents a recital of Bach and Beyond with pianist and composer Harry Baker. Using JS Bach’s cello suite as a starting point, this recital showcases the influence of Bach across a range of music by Janáček, Villa-Lobos and Lianne La Havas.

Meanwhile from the ѿý Proms the Ulster Orchestra make a welcome return in a programme which culminates with Dvorak’s powerful tribute to his own homeland, his 7th Symphony. Just listen for those horns at the end!
