Work: Piano Sonata no. 31 in A flat major, Op.110

Dame Mitsuko Uchida brings forth with crystal clarity Beethoven's masterful counterpoint and harmony in a recital of his last three piano sonatas. 

For Richard Goode, returning to Beethoven’s last piano sonatas is not an extraordinary event, but rather a form of periodic devotion.

In a tempestuous and exhilarating evening at the Barbican, the Polish pianist displays typical mastery of Bach, Szymanowski, Webern and Beethoven.
