Leif Ove Andsnes

Duration:
2 hours
First broadcast:
Thursday 16 August 2012

Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes makes a welcome return to the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh with the mighty Waldstein sonata, one of his greatest works for piano alongside the lesser known F major sonata which reflects Beethoven's more humorous side. Both were both written around the same time as the fifth symphony. Chopin's works show no less a range of mood from the beautiful perfection of his waltzes to the storms and stresses of his ballades.
