LSO St Luke's Beethoven Piano Sonata Series. Introduced by Louise Fryer.

Beginning the second week of a complete cycle of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Llyr Williams (a former Radio 3 New Generation Artist) plays three sonatas. He begins with Beethoven's playful sonata in G major, Op.14 No.2, and ends with the idyllic 'Pastoral' sonata. The middle sonata, Op.54, is equally delicate and was written as a form of light relief while Beethoven was drafting the first version of his opera Fidelio.
