Join Víkingur Ólafsson, ‘the new superstar of classical piano’ (the Telegraph), as he returns to the Oxford Piano Festival bringing a fresh take on Beethoven’s final three piano sonatas. Nos 30 to 32 are thought by many to be a glimpse into Beethoven’s turbulent mind during the road to his encroaching deafness.
