Overview
Llyr Williams’s affinity for Beethoven continues to deepen thanks to his prolonged immersion in the composer’s music in recent seasons.
In the first concert of his complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas, he traces the evolution of Beethoven’s early Op. 2 piano sonatas, works of youthful brilliance dedicated to Joseph Haydn, before crowning his recital with the tempestuous emotions and volcanic musical invention of the ‘Appassionata’.
The next concert in Llyr’s Williams’s Beethoven piano sonata cycle is on 25 February 2015.
