An ebullient piece of chamber music, brimming with themes and memorable moments, this is worth hearing for the penultimate movement alone, a stunning set of variations on Schubert’s own ‘Trout’ theme.

The second half offers a complete contrast: an arrangement for double bass and strings of a beautiful aria by Vivaldi, Vedro con mio diletto. This is from the opera Giustino, which involves love, shipwreck and a terrifying sea monster, which is of course killed by our hero, Giustino. Finally, two toe-tapping tangos by the great master, Astor Piazzolla, who wrote his own Vivaldi-inspired Seasons. Last year we performed Winter - this year we offer Summer and Autumn.”
