Ludwig van Beethoven – Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47 "Kreutzer"
Carnegie Hall’s Vienna: City of Dreams festival in 2014 explored the cultural splendor of the great Austrian city where Beethoven composed and premiered his greatest works. One of the festival highlights was a complete cycle of the composer’s sonatas for violin and piano with Leonidas Kavakos and Enrico Pace. In this recording from the Salzburg Festival in 2012, the duo performs the “Kreutzer” Sonata, famously named after Beethoven’s second dedicatee in an act of artistic revenge.
The broadcast will become available on August 27 at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific. Available until September 3 at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific.
