Imogen Cooper鈥檚 70th birthday concert

Another chance to hear Imogen Cooper鈥檚 celebrating her 70th birthday with Schubert鈥檚 final three sonatas.

Another chance to hear the great pianist playing music by a composer dear to her heart.

This concert, first broadcast in October last year, took place at London's Wigmore Hall.

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.

Recorded on 22nd October 2019 at Wigmore Hall and presented by Sarah Walker, including comments on the music from Imogen Cooper.
