Daniel Barenboim: Beethoven, Sonata for Piano No. 23 in F minor op. 57 “Appassionata”

About this event

Few musicians in the world are as intimately familiar with Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas as Daniel Barenboim, who has been exploring these works since the earliest days of his career. In 1960, at the age of 17, he first played all 32 sonatas in Tel Aviv. Through countless complete performances and three complete recordings, “his” Beethoven cycle emerged, which combines earlier and later sonatas in each program. In 2020, celebrating Beethoven’s 250th anniversary at the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, Daniel Barenboim for the first time presented these works in chronological order of their creation — providing an exciting look at the composer’s artistic development. From this cycle, enjoy the Sonata for Piano No. 23 in F minor op. 57 “Appassionata” here.
