Roll Over Beethoven... but Slowly!

Hungarian born pianist Andras Schiff is taking his time. He's performing the complete 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven at Carnegie Hall -- in a series of concerts spread over a number of years!

Now a British citizen, Mr. Schiff is better known for his interpretations of J.S. Bach, Schubert and Schumann. However, he has given a series of lecture-recitals on Beethoven at London's Wigmore Hall.

With a timetable spread so far apart, it may be difficult to make sense of Mr. Schiff's concept or what he's trying to achieve. But one thing's for sure -- he's always worth listening to. If you'd like to hear him play, log on to carnegiehall.org for times and tickets.
