Paul is especially renowned for his interpretations of the central European classical repertoire, and it is with Beethoven that he begins and ends tonight’s programme. The three piano sonatas that make up op. 10 were published when Beethoven was a young virtuoso in Vienna, better known as a pianist, than a composer, and keen to show off his talents. Op. 111 is the mature Beethoven’s final sonata for piano, a masterpiece in only two movements that breaks all the rules, foreshadows jazz rhythms, and finally reaches a plane of transcendental serenity.
