Beethoven: The Complete Sonatas - International Concert Series
In a series of eight recitals, the pianist John Lill marks his 70th birthday year by performing all 32 of Beethoven’s ground-breaking Piano Sonatas.
Written between 1795 and 1822, the early works imitate Haydn, but the later works reveal creative ambition, intellectual rigour and transcendental expression. Beethoven’s visionary music traces his spiritual evolution, using the piano as a potent vessel of his creative individuality.
John Lill is one of Britain’s best known pianists, who first came to international attention by winning the coveted Tchaikovsky Award in 1970. Known for his aristocratic interpretations of Beethoven and other great masters of the piano repertoire, this is a rare chance to be led on one of the greatest of all musical journeys by an artist of consummate skill and experience.
