Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas, Collector's Edition

Written during three distinct periods of the composer's life, Beethoven's thirty-two sonatas are one of the great pinnacles of the piano literature, and are performed here by one of the twentieth century's finest pianists. From the ebullient early works to the forward-looking and often deeply thought-provoking late ones, Arrau's much-praised interpretation is just as fresh today as it waswhen first released.

Beethoven: The 32 Sonatas [11 CD]

Andras Schiff: piano Beethoven sonata cycles are occasions, but they dont always make history. This one did.... The recordings are luminous. Although they were recorded live in Zurich, Switzerland, they reveal a kind of preserved freshness. An ideal piano dances in imaginary space. Everything in Beethoven can be heard, savored, adored. I recommend them without qualification. - Mark Swed, Los Angeles TimesAndras Schiff: The Beethoven sonatas can be logically divided into three distinct groups: early, middle and late. To me, playing them in chronological order is most convincing and deeply satis... [Read More]

Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas

The 32 Piano Sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven are often referred to as the New Testament of the keyboard literature, following on the Old Testament of J.S. Bach's 48 preludes and fugues in the Well-Tempered Clavier. Composed over a period of almost three decades, from 1795 to 1822, the sonatas constitute a fascinating panorama of an artistic career which underwent numerous changes not to say upheavals but nevertheless remained remarkably consistent. Ever since the first recording of the entire cycle, by Artur Schnabel in the 1930s, a number of the world's leading pianists have given us their pe... [Read More]

Beethoven: The 32 Piano Sonatas, Bagatelles (9CD)

“Nobody plays this music more authoritatively and eloquently,” wrote London’s Sunday Times of Stephen Kovacevich in Beethoven. “He is in his element, responding wholeheartedly to the extreme physicality that Beethoven brought to music ... but the wit and delicacy of the playing are also remarkable.”Kovacevich himself has spoken of his love for the “fun and virtuosity” of the composer’s early sonatas, while in the often challenging later works he sees a “subtext of radiance and some sort of inherent faith in life.”

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas (8CD)

Artur Schnabel’s complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, recorded between 1932 and 1938, constitute a monument of the catalogue. In 1937 Gramophone wrote: “To [his] technical mastery Schnabel adds and fuses an intensely intelligent, not merely ‘intellectual’ mind … The result is a perfectly blended interpretation of the music as a spiritual expression and as a musical organism.” Remastered from the original 78RPM discs, these legendary recordings can now be enjoyed in audio of unprecedented truthfulness and quality.
