Stephen Hough - Beethoven, Liszt, Scriabin
Pianist Stephen Hough plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Scriabin's Sonata No 5 and Liszt's Sonata in B minor, as well as a self-composed piece: Broken Branches.
Presented by Louise Fryer.
In a specially recorded concert at Newbury Spring Festival, pianist Stephen Hough performs a programme of music exploring the sonata form. His starting point is arguably the best known and loved of them all: Beethoven's Sonata in C sharp minor Op 27 No 2 "Moonlight". The piece didn't gain its famous moniker until five years after Beethoven's death, when a critic likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne. Hough is a renowned polymath, in addition to his skills at the piano he writes, paints and composes. Alongside sonatas by Scriabin and Liszt, he will perform his own composition: Sonata for Piano "Broken Branches", which premiered last year.
