Beethoven Sonatas

During their three-year collaboration Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson have released a first duo disc of Schubert, followed by a Beethoven disc of Sonatas 6, 1 and 8 in 2024, and more recently their third duo album of Beethoven Sonatas 2 and 10. The combination of fortepiano and gut string violin are what Beethoven's music craves, giving a rich texture and distinct colours between the registers. This evening they perform Beethoven's 2nd, 3rd and 9th Sonatas. The fortepiano is the McNulty Graf from Wigmore Hall, and Viktoria plays either her 'Jules Falk' 1723 Stradivarius or her Guadagnini violin.

Programme:
Beethoven Sonata No. 3 in E flat major
Beethoven Sonata No. 2 in A major
Beethoven Sonata No. 9 in A major 'Kreutzer'

Performers:
