Even two hundred years on, Beethoven's late piano sonatas are still unique portraits of the human spirit in all its facets: childlike, earthy, ecstatic, comical, suffering, and surviving, as at the end of op110. Stephen Kovacevich is one of their greatest interpreters. Between the two Beethoven sonatas, Debussy's equally mercurial but very impressionistic sonata for violin, written during his long fatal illness, but which he rightly called 'fantastic and light' in its middle movement, and 'full of joyous tumult' in the finale. Programme:
Beethoven: Piano sonata No. 30, op 109 (23’)
Stephen Kovacevich
Debussy: Sonata for violin and piano, L. 148 (15’)
Stephen Kovacevich & Priya Mitchell
Beethoven: Piano sonata No. 31, op 110 (22’)
