Good old NHS! But seriously - I hope it does get sorted very soon, and that you can still enjoy the music - albeit given your hearing challenge.

Thank you!

Beethoven - piano sonata no. 14.

Be mice to know who the artist is!

Martha Argerich & Friends Lugano Festival 2017

Unfortunately the last edition to be published from this festival, bearing her name.

[Joseph K]

I could listen to that Night and Day.

It is great.

The performer is Daniel Barenboim - I've been listening to Beethoven's piano sonatas systematically. I'm about to listen to 15 - the 'Pastoral' I believe is its nickname.
