Presented by Sarah Walker
In his 250th anniversary year, last year's prestigious Gstaad Menuhin Festival focused on the music of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Andras Schiff, arguably the greatest living interpreter of Beethoven's keyboard works, presented the composer's last three sonatas in a single recital. He considers the three works to be a cycle-within-a-cycle, and has presented them as such around the world.
Bach
Prelude & Fugue in E, BWV.878 (Well-Tempered Klavier, Book II)
Beethoven
Sonata in E, Op.109
Sonata in A flat, Op.110
Schubert
Allegretto in C minor, D.915
(Beethoven's final sonata, from the same recital, can be heard in tomorrow's programme.)
