Johannes Brahms on the first sonata (1879): ‘It’s not worth playing through more than once, and you would have to have a nice soft rainy evening to give the proper mood.”
We are delighted to able to welcome the pianist Daniel Ben Pienaar for his first appearance at Wilton’s Music Hall. In recent years Daniel Ben has won great acclaim for his epic recordings of cycles ranging from Mozart Sonatas to Orlando Gibbons.
