Wigmore Hall, 15th September 2019
Brace yourselves! We’re going to hear an awful lot of Ludwig in the coming fifteen months. Even before the calendar has clicked over to 2020 – and even then, his 250th anniversary isn’t until December – Beethoven is on concert programmes everywhere. One wonders what new insights the anniversary focus will throw upon our understanding of his life and works. Wigmore Hall launched its celebrations with a Beethoven Festival Weekend, a series of programmes viewing him from different perspectives, although these two Sunday evening recitals belonged purely to Ludwig.
