Hannah French is joined by violinist Rachel Podger to explore her ensemble Brecon Baroque and the festival in south Wales that also bears its name.

Each October, Rachel gathers together some of the world鈥檚 leading period musicians for a long weekend of performances and workshops in Brecon Cathedral and Theatr Brycheiniog, bookended by walks and talks in and around Brecon. And of course, over the past 17 years or so, the Brecon Baroque ensemble has aso recorded a wealth of repertoire including Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Veracini, Tartini, Pisendel, Purcell and Locke.
