Andreas Haefliger in 2017
Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger plays Berg, Liszt, Beethoven and Mussorgsky.
Kate Molleson presents another highlight from the Edinburgh International Festival archives. Tonight, Swiss Pianist Andreas Haefliger performs a colourful programme featuring Mussorgsky's mighty tour-de-force Pictures at an Exhibition. It was inspired by the grotesque fairy-tale pictures by Victor Hartmann as exhibited in the Imperial Academy of the Arts as a memorial to the painter. Liszt conjures his own dramatic scene of St Francis walking on the water in his second Legend. Berg's early Sonata is as brief as it is tumultuous and contrasts with the mature serenity of Beethoven's Sonata Op 101.
Berg: Piano Sonata
Liszt: Legend No. 1, "St. Francis of Assisi's sermon to the birds"
Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A major, Op.101
