A beautiful rendition of Beethoven's famous piano sonata with string accompaniment. Very emotional piece with feelings of sadness and loss. The strings add an extra haunting atmosphere.
A fast, dramatic and energetic end to the famous Moonlight Sonata. The third movement moves along at a great pace, (presto agitato - which means fast, in a hurry and agitated). The pianist gives a fantastic rendition of this high tempo work.
