Schwarzenberg Festival 2023 (2/4)
Radio 3’s week of lunchtime concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains, continues with Schubert’s Sonata in B flat, D960, played by Marc Andre Hamelin.
Schubert’s Sonata in B flat, D960, played by pianist Marc Andre Hamelin at the Schwarzenberg Schubertiade 2023.
Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year’s Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert’s music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for Schubert’s chamber music.
Today’s programme features the final piano sonata that Schubert wrote: the meditative Sonata in B flat.
