Festival: Festival International de Piano de La Roque d'Anthéron

In a magical outdoor environment, one of the elder statesmen of French piano traces the progression of Beethoven's style through his sonatas.

Yip Wing-sie and the HK Sinfonietta show admirable qualities in their Beethoven cycle. François-Frédéric Guy plays a splendid Third Piano Concerto but Anne Queffélec is disconnected from the orchestra in the Fourth.

The 43rd edition of the International Piano Festival opens with a Beethoven programme of elegance and grace from Bertrand Chamayou and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris.
