Beethoven: Klaviersonaten Nos. 27, 28, 30 & 31 [Germany]
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Deutsche Grammophon, 1998
A fine album, though not a first choice
Emil Gilels, as distinguished a Beethoven interpreter as any, gives satisfying accounts of four of Beethoven's late piano sonatas. The op. 90 and op. 101 sonatas, both analog recordings, are given solid performances. The op. 109 and op. 110 sonatas, both digital recordings, are given excellent ...

Beethoven: The Last Three Piano Sonatas
Ludwig van Beethoven, Sviatoslav Richter
Russian Revelation, 1998
Revelation brings out the same January 12, 1975, Op. 111 issued by Music & Arts in a brighter yet hissier transfer. Sviatoslav Richter dives headfirst into the opening movement, safety last, looking Beethoven's "Allegro con brio ed appassionato" straight in the eye (what a tempo!), and generates both high tension and repose in the sublime Arietta as well as in Op. 109's variation movement. ...

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 29 "Hammerklavier", Op. 106
Ludwig van Beethoven, Emil Gilels
Deutsche Grammophon, 2004
A supreme monument in composition performed by a master
+ Brilliant rip-off
I have been a fan of Gilels since I heard him play in Hill Auditorium when I was around 16 years old. It was a breathtaking experience for me. Since then, I have heard hundreds of pianists and am able to find my way around the instrument fairly well myself. Along the way, I picked up an ...

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 29 "Hammerklavier" & 32, Op. 111
Ludwig van Beethoven, Solomon Cutner
EMI Classics, 2005
A volcano at the piano
Imagine a volcano that's been under pressure for thousands of years suddenly bursting forth, releasing thousands of tons of pressure in a flurry of thundering chords, swirling eighth notes, and furious arpeggios. That gives you some idea of what's packed in this one innocuous-looking disc. ...

One of the highlights of the entire Praga Richter Edition is definitely this set which includes sublimely beautiful renditions of Sonata no.27 & 28 and the towering performance of Hammerklavier. They are all relatively well recorded in stereo sound between 60s and 80s. Richter's love for ...

The publisher speaks
+ CLASSIC & SUBLIME! and yes, Richter moments abound!
Do not take my approval of this recording as being in any way subjective. I run Parnassus Records and I published this CD. I only want to call attention to the fact that our remastering of this recording has largely corrected the flutter which ran through the original edition of Op. 109, making it ...
