Petroc Trelawny presents a selection of music and guests from the arts world, including previews of two events taking place at this year's Edinburgh International Festival. Ahead of their concerts at The Queens Hall, the Belcea Quartet perform Bartok live on the programme, and conductor HK Gruber and American tenor Anthony Dean Griffey discuss their production of Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht's bitter tale of greed and lust, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, which opens the festival on Friday.
