Event Description
This immersive weekend at Hellens Manor offers the unique experience to hear all of Beethoven’s major chamber works with piano – violin sonatas, cello sonatas and piano trios – in six concerts, performed by three of Britain’s leading chamber players.
As well as being a great composer, Beethoven was a brilliant pianist and performed all of his piano parts himself until deafness prevented him from playing in public for the final part of his career. Therefore, through these works, an insight is glimpsed into Beethoven’s unique and ground-breaking genius as it emerged through his chosen instrument and his own musicianship. From the magnificent Op. 1 piano trios with which he announced himself to the Viennese public, through the Spring and Kreutzer sonatas to the Ghost and Archduke trios, every aspect of Beethoven’s musical persona is on show in these chamber works.
