Stephen Hough in 2016

Recorded at the Edinburgh Festival in 2016, British pianist and polymath Stephen Hough performs works by Schubert, Franck, Liszt and his own Third Piano Sonata.

Tonight we are in the company of pianist, composer and author Stephen Hough in a programme of music by composer/pianists. In this typically intellectual performance from the Edinburgh International Festival in 2016, Stephen Hough revels in a storm-tossed sonata by Schubert, Cesar Franck’s prelude, chorale and fugue and four fiendish pieces by Liszt. Alongside these, Stephen plays his own piano sonata, ‘Trinitas’, and delights the Queen’s Hall audience with a pair of perfectly judged encores.

Schubert: Piano Sonata in A minor D 784
Franck: Prelude, Chorale and Fugue
Hough: Piano Sonata III 'Trinitas'
Liszt: Valse Oubliée no 1 in F sharp minor S 215
Liszt: Valse Oubliée No 2 in A flat S 215
Liszt: Etude d'exécution transcendante No 11 in D flat S 139 'Harmonies du Soir'
Liszt: Etude d'exécution transcendante No 10 in F minor S 139
