Beethoven Sonata in G Op.31 No.1
Beethoven Sonata in D minor Op.31 No.2 “Tempest”
Beethoven Sonata in E flat Op. 31. No.3
Beethoven Sonata In C Op.53 “Waldstein”
András Schiff is one of the greatest pianists alive today. His performances of the keyboard masters such as J S Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven and Bartok have been widely acclaimed in all the major concert halls throughout the world.
In 2004 András Schiff began performing complete cycles of the Beethoven piano sonatas and this concert presents four sonatas from the middle period of his output. The set of piano sonatas Op.31 show the various sides of the Beethoven character, from the Haydnesque No.1 to the stormy No.2 and the joyful No.3. The “Waldstein” sonata is one of his best known keyboard works and comes just after the completion of the “Eroica” symphony with which it shares a determination to overcome the challenge of his growing deafness.
This is a very rare opportunity to hear a very special piano recital in the beautiful surroundings of Middle Temple Hall, a venue of which András Schiff is particularly fond.

A lecture by Lord Bingham of Cornhill
Samuel Johnson is best remembered as a lexicographer, poet and critic; yet he wanted to be a lawyer. In this talk, Lord Bingham highlights Johnson’s interest and involvement in the eighteenth-century legal world from his appearance as a character witness in a murder trial to his theoretical discussions on law drawn out by his great biographer James Boswell.
Lord Bingham is Senior Law Lord, that is the most senior judge in the House of Lords, the UK’s “Supreme Court”. He was Master of the Rolls from 1992-1996, and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 1996-2000. He is a bencher of Gray’s Inn.
Tickets: £10 (including a glass of wine)
