Miklós Perényi and Dénes Várjon | Beethoven Cello Sonatas
The great cellist and his Hungarian pianist partner traverse the Beethovenian repertoire for their instruments, including a set of variations and a sonata from the composer’s early period, one from his middle period, and one from the beginning of his late period.
Daniel Sepec; Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras | Beethoven String Trios
In this concert bringing together three exceptional musicians whose confluence has been described as forming a ‘super trio’, Beethoven’s major works for string trio comprise the programme – all of them early pieces, dating from between 1794 and 1798.
