Piano Recital: John Field & Beethoven, Alice Sara Ott

It doesn't get more melancholic than the Mondschein Sonata. Ludwig van Beethoven's best-known piano sonata is the ultimate romantic masterpiece, in which longing and loneliness are sublimated in beauty. World-famous pianist Alice Sara Ott makes her debut in the Muziekgebouw with a recital in which she combines Beethoven with a lesser-known contemporary, the Irish composer John Field, of whom she plays a selection from his Nocturnes.
