Presented by Catherine Bott.

In a concert given at the Barbican Hall, London, Murray Perahia, considered one of the world's finest pianists, performs works by four of the great masters of the piano repertoire.

The programme opens with a work by Bach, followed by Beethoven's Appassionata sonata from 1803, which clearly reflects the emotional turmoil from his deafness that he felt during its composition. The evening ends with Brahms' much-celebrated Handel Variations.
