A programme centred on Beethoven’s last three sonatas, one of music’s great spiritual journeys. This transcendent, dramatic, lyrical and ultimately communicative music is interspersed with preludes by Chopin and Shostakovich, together with music by Bach, including Myra Hess's radiant transcription of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, the perfect way to mark her passing sixty years ago on 25 November.
