Candlelight: Beethoven’s Best Works

The title of this concert certainly sets the bar high, though it seems a pretty good selection of the composer’s works for piano. The pianist is Magdalena Wajdzik, and the other plus is the way these recitals are lit by candlelight. The programme last around 65 minutes:

♦ Piano Sonata op.13 ‘Pathetique’ – 1st, 2nd and 3rd movements
♦ ‘Für Elise’ (Bagatelle no.25 in A minor)
♦ Piano Sonata No.17 op.31 (The Tempest) – 1st and 3rd movement
♦ Piano Sonata op. 27 No.2 (Moonlight) – 1st, 2nd and 3rd movements
♦ ‘An die Freude’ (aka Ode to Joy – transcr. Liszt)

The programme lasts about 65 minutes; there are performances at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm.
