Live from Wigmore Hall: Elisabeth Brauss plays Prokofiev, Albeniz and Beethoven.

The German pianist - always a popular figure at the hall - begins her programme with the quick-fire drama of Prokofiev's ten short character studies and ends with one of Beethoven's brightest sonatas. And, in the middle, she explores the impressionistic half-light of Albeniz's Evocaci贸n. The programme shows why this recent Radio 3 New Generation Artist is regarded as one of the most versatile pianists of her generation.

Presented by Martin Handley.
