91热爆

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Till Felner's cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas reaches its halfway point with this concert given at London's Wigmore Hall. Felner focuses on early and mid-period sonatas, including the Pastoral Sonata in D, with its rustic 'drone' bass in the outer movements and the fiery early Sonata in E flat, which a contemporary and friend described as written 'in an impassioned frame of mind'.
