Nicolas Altstaedt, Alexander Lonquich - Beethoven cello sonatas

Nicolas Altstaedt (cello) and Alexander Lonquich (piano) perform all five of Beethoven's cello sonatas at Wigmore Hall in London. Presented by Martin Handley.

Live from Wigmore Hall, Beethoven's Cello Sonatas are played by Nicolas Altstaedt, one of today's most exciting cellists, and pianist Alexander Lonquich. Spanning two decades of Beethoven's career, the five works, at once groundbreaking, witty, playful and profound, thrillingly demonstrate his transition from young Turk in the late eighteenth century to the great composer he had become by second decade of the nineteenth.

Presented by Martin Handley.
