Schwarzenberg Festival 2023 (3/4)
Radio 3’s week of concerts from Schwarzenberg in the Austrian mountains continues with piano music by Schubert and CPE Bach, played by Francesco Piemontesi and Marc Andre Hamelin.
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 last of sonata that Schubert published during his lifetime. It was particularly admired by Schumann, who called it “perfect in form and conception".
Schubert: Piano Sonata in G, D 894
Francesco Piemontesi, piano
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: Sonata in A flat major »Württemberg Sonata No. 2«
