Imogen Cooper鈥檚 70th birthday concert
The internationally acclaimed pianist celebrates with cornerstones of her repertoire, Schubert's late, great final three sonatas, by turns the stuff of nightmare and serenity.
Well-loved and internationally acclaimed, pianist Imogen Cooper celebrates her 70th birthday with just three works by one composer: Schubert鈥檚 final three sonatas, product of an intense three months towards the end of his short life. By turns comforting and serene, nightmarish and unsettling, these hugely challenging works have become cornerstones of Cooper鈥檚 repertoire and this promises to be a very special occasion.
Recorded on Tuesday at Wigmore Hall and presented by Sarah Walker, including comments on the music from Imogen Cooper.
