About this concert
Almost twenty years after making his Wigmore Hall debut, Andreas Haefliger is recognised globally for the perception and depth of his artistry.
The German-born Swiss musician includes works by Luciano Berio in his lunchtime recital, two of six epigrammatic encore pieces composed between 1965 and 1990. Beethoven and Schumann supply the mighty bookends for Haefliger’s programme. Schumann’s Fantasy in C, originally written in 1836, was created to help raise funds for the erection of a birthplace monument to Beethoven in Bonn.
