Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson

Live from Wigmore Hall, violinist Viktoria Mullova and fortepianist Alasdair Beatson perform Beethoven's Violin Sontatas No 7 and No 5, 'Spring'.

Viktoria Mullova and Alasdair Beatson perform two sonatas they recorded last year to great critical acclaim, earning 5* reviews as well as Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Magazine's 'Chamber Choice' of the month. Beethoven's Seventh Sonata for fortepiano and violin is one of the grandest in the violinist’s repertory, packed with drama, passion and a deep sense of unsettled urgency. Following the Seventh's stormy conclusion comes the opening, lyrical melody of the 'Spring' sonata, immediately suggestive of the freshness and beauty of the season that has earned the sonata its nickname.
