In light of the measures enforced to restrict the spread of COVID-19, the BBC SSO has taken the inevitable but regrettable decision to cancel its Beethoven Roots Festival. This cancellation includes not only the concerts in the symphony cycle (14 – 21 May 2020) but also the three supporting chamber events in May and June.
Ticketholders will be refunded by the box office when its service resumes.
When Beethoven was young, the piano was unrecognisable as the instrument we know today. By the end of his life, it was transformed, in part, by the imagination, scope and expressive power of his own music. Louis Lortie pairs the grandeur of Beethoven’s most ambitious early sonata with the concentrated emotion of Les Adieux, played by an artist who is, in the words of Gramophone magazine, “living proof that you can maintain an individual and distinctive voice while remaining scrupulously true to the composer”.
Beethoven
Piano Sonata No.4, in E flat major, Op.7 ‘Grand Sonata’
Beethoven
Piano Sonata No.26, in E flat major, Op.81a ‘Les Adieux’
