BBC Radio 3 - Edinburgh International Festival, 2017 Queen's Hall Series, Andreas Haefliger

Recorded at the Queen's Hall, Donald Macleod presents the Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger.

Recorded at the Queen's Hall, Donald Macleod presents the Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger playing Berg, Liszt, Beethoven and Mussorgsky.

Swiss Pianist Andreas Haefliger performs a colourful programme featuring Musorgsky's mighty tour-de-force Pictures at an Exhibition. It was inspired by the grotesque fairy tale pictures by Victor Hartmann as exhibited in the Imperial Academy of the Arts as a memorial to the painter. Liszt conjours his own dramatic scene of St Francis walking on the water in his second Legend. Berg's early sonata is as brief as it is tumultuous and contrasts with the mature serenity of Beethoven's Sonata Op 101.

The concert is presented by Donald Macleod

Berg: Piano Sonata
Liszt: Legend No. 1, "St. Francis of Assisi's sermon to the birds"
Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A major, Op.101
