One of the indisputable authorities in musical life today, the distinguished Alfred Brendel braves a winter's journey to Ithaca. "If I belong to a tradition, it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the preformer what he should do and ot the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed."

Program: Haydn Sonatas Hob XVI:42 and 50, Mozart Fantasia K 475 and Rondo K 511, and Schubert Sonata in G major,D 894.
