His program:

BEETHOVEN

Sonata in F Major, Op.54

Sonata in E Minor, Op.90

BARTÓK

Out of Doors (1926)

BRAHMS

Sonata in F Minor, Op.5

Well I guess not many have heard of him but he was a treat to watch last night.  Each piece was played with a precision only the Swiss know.  :)

My god, what a tough piece the Brahms is.  I never heard it before but have heard many here speak of how tough Brahms' music is.  Now I know.

I think he's fantastic.  I saw him perform a Brahms concerto, and I was absolutely mesmorized.  150% impressed.
