Overview

‘What other composer has covered, within his life, suchvast musical distances?’ asks Alfred Brendel aboutBeethoven.

Igor Levit’s recital underlines the point,encompassing everything from the subtle humourand technical brilliance of the two-movement PianoSonata in F Op. 54 to the driving intensity of Op. 10No. 1 and tragic demeanour of the ‘Appassionata’.

Igor Levit’s Beethoven Cycle is supported by Simon Ludlam and William de Winton
