Stephen Hough places Debussy and Chopin side by side to highlight the empathy between them in their love for, and understanding of, the sound of the piano. He will then bring the evening to a dramatic close with Beethoven’s Sonata Op.57, Appassionata, in Hough’s own words, ‘one of the most incendiary, elemental works every written’.
