The distinguished American pianist Richard Goode has forged an exceptional worldwide reputation across the decades. Tonight he dedicates his programme to the last three piano sonatas by Schubert – all masterpieces written in quick succession during the last year of the composer’s short life. The C minor work explores stormy territory with compulsive power; the A major contrasts extremes of expansive beauty and anarchic terror; and finally the B flat Sonata is among Schubert’s best-loved late works, both radiant and heart-breaking. Franz Schubert: Sonata in C minor, D.958 Franz Schubert: Sonata in A, D.959 Interval Franz Schubert: Sonata in B flat, D.960 Please arrive on time as latecomers may not be admitted.
