These exceptional performances received widespread critical acclaim upon their original digital release, and this premiere 9-disc boxed set includes extended personal and informative booklet notes written by the pianist. From the vivid energy of the early sonatas, through the dark passions and enchanted lyricism of Beethoven’s middle period, to the awe-inspiring transcendence of the final sonatas - this cycle runs the full gamut of human emotion.

This is absolutely fantastic. Learned a lot.. although I listen to this Sonata I never looked at it this way. now I can really appreciate it.. Thank you very much

[@chenNwritin]

Thank you, that was wonderful, both the discussion and the performance. I actually wasn't going to stay for the whole performance as I have listened to a LOT of Beethoven sonatas recently 😃 but it was so compelling I couldn't turn it off.

An absolute Masterpiece. Beethoven in unparalleled

I once had a dream and the old lady who was my teacher in the dream told me how to play the glissando octaves. She said you just have to lean in a little. So maybe there is more to it than a strong back and good noodles. But thank you for that tip. I love listening to you. I think you are a lot like Beethoven emotionally, and your technical ability just delights me
