“Keeper of the flame” is how The Guardian recently described Alfred Brendel. At seventy-six he is unchallenged as the greatest living exponent of the classical keyboard tradition of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, bringing not only extraordinary depth and humanity but also quirky humour to the music. His recital includes Beethoven’s startlingly original E flat Sonata and the powerful serenity of Schubert’s great B flat Sonata. It’s difficult to think of a more satisfying concert to close this season.
