Beethoven and York Bowen Horn Sonatas
Another chance to hear a concert first broadcast in November 2020 as part of Cheltenham Festival, given by horn player Ben Goldscheider and pianist Huw Watkins in Cardiff.
Another chance to hear a concert given by the award-winning young horn player Ben Goldscheider, which was first broadcast in November 2020 as part of a series of live recitals featuring artists from 2020 Cheltenham Music Festival. His regular partner, renowned Welsh pianist and composer Huw Watkins joins him on the stage of St. David's Hall in Cardiff. Beethoven wrote his Horn Sonata for a contemporary horn player who liked to be known as Signor Punto. When he was writing it, Beethoven, who took on the piano part himself at the premiere, made sure that each performer was allowed plenty of room to shine. British composer York Bowen, who died in 1961, was a talented pianist as well as being an accomplished horn player. He wrote his Horn Sonata in 1937. Its luxuriant harmonies and lyrical lines make it one of the twentieth century's most appealing works for the instrument.
