Overview

Renowned above all for his Beethoven interpretations, Canadian pianist and composer Stewart Goodyear's Wigmore commission precedes the mighty ‘Hammerklavier’ sonata. Mending Wall responds to a poem of the same title by Robert Frost, which describes humanity's struggle to embrace change; Beethoven's sonata similarly depicts the struggle between past and future traditions of music.
