with James Jolly.

Today marks the start of Classical Collection's complete cycle of Beethoven piano sonatas. Beethoven's sonatas are one of the towering peaks of the piano repertoire, spanning the composer's entire career. Sarah Walker and James Jolly will introduce the sonatas at the rate of two a week, each Tuesday and Thursday. Pianists to be featured include well-loved Beethoven interpreters from the past and present such as Alfred Brendel, Emil Gilels, Paul Lewis, Andras Schiff and Wilhelm Kempff. Don't miss this chance to hear a truly outstanding collection of great music.

This week - music inspired by Ireland, Irish musicians and recordings by Gidon Kremer. Today's highlights include an Irish Symphony by Hamilton Harty, Murray Perahia performing Beethoven, and Schumann's Violin Concerto with Gidon Kremer as soloist.
