Lukas Sternath plays a late Schubert Piano Sonata

Specially recorded performances from some of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists, including Scandinavian string quartet Opus13’s new recording of Mendelssohn.

The twenty-five-year-old Viennese pianist Lukas Sternath brings charm and authority to one of Schubert's late piano sonatas, and the brilliant young Scandinavian Opus13 Quartet explore the eighteen-year-old Mendelssohn's songful homage to Beethoven.
