András Schiff last performed the complete Beethoven piano sonatas at Wigmore Hall from 2004–6.
On the day before each of the eight recitals in the series, the world-renowned pianist, pedagogue and lecturer gave a lecture-recital in which he explored the works to be performed. The lecture-recital on the Piano Sonata No 29 in B flat major ‘Hammerklavier‘, Opus 106, recorded live at the Hall, is available below.
