Sunwook Kim plays Beethoven’s Last Three Piano Sonatas

Filmed at the KunstKraftwerk Leipzig, Sunwook Kim’s masterful interpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Last Three Piano Sonatas op. 109-111 is set in an exceptional cultural-industrial landmark. The exceptional Korean pianist’s playing is framed by light projections that fill the brick hall. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Last Three Piano Sonatas occupy a very special place within his oeuvre. Completely deaf by then, the composer put three of his most intimate and personal works on paper, which at the same time radiate optimism and point musically into the future like hardly any other works.
