Beethoven’s piano sonatas, says Sir András Schiff, ‘have lost none of their relevance and freshness’. In Schiff’s hands, every new encounter with these great but deeply human works – the so-called ‘New Testament’ of the piano repertoire – reveals new depths of character and meaning. According to The Guardian, his interpretations of the late sonatas, in particular, ‘sweep all before them’, and that’s what he’ll be playing today: Beethoven’s final trilogy of sonatas, music of wild imagination, profound tenderness and sudden, piercing beauty.
