Ego-free faithful trustworthy performance of works of genius.
Beethoven, what a composer. I think we will be hearing from him again. I reckon he will catch on with the general classical-music-loving public worldwide. I hear he is thinking of writing symphonies and concertos, even an opera. The piano sonatas are superb, and show a development from his early Haydnesque-style to something utterly original, pushing the medium to its limits and beyond, and sounding even to 21st century ears amazingly modern. His late sonatas are out of this world. And this set is superbly presented by pianist Alfred Brendel, who puts the music first, a minimum of performer quirks, he gets inside his Beethoven, so that his Beethoven is our Beethoven. Beethoven is unique, one of the truly greatest composers of all time.Read full review...
