Legendary Austrian pianist Alfred Brendel takes the stage to perform three classical works in this performance captured live at Snape Maltings Concert Hall, England.

Widely regarded as one of the world's greatest living pianists, as well as an established poet and author, this moment marked Brendel’s approaching 70th birthday. Introducing each piece with reflections drawn from a lifetime of listening and performing, he plays three compositions. Haydn's "Piano Sonata in E flat major, Hob. XVI/49," Mozart's "Piano Sonata in C minor K. 457," and Schubert's "Impromptu No. 3 in G flat, D. 899."

Alfred Brendel stopped performing in 2008.
