BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Edinburgh International Festival 2010, Llyr Williams

Llyr Williams (piano) performs Beethoven and Ives at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival.

Recital by Llyr Williams (piano). Beethoven: Piano Sonata No 13 in E flat, Op 27. Ives: Piano Sonata No 2 (Concord). With Jane Atkins (viola), Juliette Bausor (flute).

EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2010

Welsh pianist -and former BBC New Generation Artist- Llyr Williams pairs Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, in E-flat major, with Charles Ives' majestic 'Concord' Sonata. To recreate the American composer's eccentric musical vision, he is joined by violist Jane Atkins and flautist Juliette Bausor, for an expanded Piano Sonata which is as much a study of Ives' philosophy as his composition.

Beethoven:
Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat Op.27 No. 1

Ives:
Piano Sonata No. 2, "Concord, Mass., 1840-1860".
