Presented by Sarah Walker

In his 250th anniversary year, last year's prestigious Gstaad Menuhin Festival focused on the music of Ludwig van Beethoven.

Andras Schiff, arguably the greatest living interpreter of Beethoven's keyboard works, presented the composer's last three sonatas in a single recital (the preceding two works can be heard in yesterday's programme on 成人快手 Sounds).

Also in the programme, the intense, rhapsodic Phantasy "for Violin with Piano Accompaniment" by Schoenberg and the fleeting, almost pointillistic Four Pieces by Webern, played by maverick virtuoso Patricia Kopatchinskaja.
