To bring the 2024 festival to a close, all the artists join in for a final celebration. Pianists Izabella Simon and Dénes Várjon play Ravel with help from their daughter Liána; Sergey Malov plays and extends on Paganini; James Campbell leads in a trio by Khachaturian and Louise Farrenc's Piano Quintet No 2 - a hidden gem - rounds it all off.
